Popular Post baggetta Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 One of the most popular signs in my Etsy store has been the table top Area 51 Sign I designed several years ago. I thought I'd update the sign a bit with a variation on the theme and also use a raised inlay to make the sign a bit more interesting. I cut the sign from maple, but I stained the raised inlays with a chestnut stain to make them stand out. Also cut a bazaar jagged base to accent the piece -- even left the blade burn marks as an accent. I have the pattern here for you if you would like to try it, but I have to make two notes here. First on the pattern I had a problem with the number 5, since the head of the alien is out in the open. The five becomes rather weak. You might want to include a little band of wood where the five opens, when cutting. Also I used 3 degrees on the saw tilt, might want to use 5 degrees instead. Experiment. Pattern can be downloaded from my Free Pattern Page: http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm Video: Also did a video as I constructed this sign. If you'd like to view it it is available on my YouTube Channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdAq26AGCLE frankorona, Lucky2, Phantom Scroller and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
