Popular Post courtym74 Posted November 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Every year I do a few name ornaments from 1/4 inch birch ply for 5 bucks. I stack cut them just to make sure of no breakage so customers get two for one. This year they blew up! I've done over 50 different names so far this year. Can't even fit them all in the picture! namunolie, jollyred, new2woodwrk and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Ditto on the Awesome! What is your blade of choice for cutting this kind of font? I did just five words, stack cut two layers for a toaal of ten, in a similar (if not the same) font for a sign I made. The caps were about 2 1/2 " tall. It took me a lot of time to cut and the cut quality, although useable, was not the best. I admire your skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The height and length will vary depending on the length of the name and which letters. The font is called soulmate with the bold option on. I've found that using size 48 font also makes for a little fatter line to follow than the 72 font. Usually I will use "Paint" in windows, type in the name, crop and then print. I find using it as a Jpeg instead of a word document gives me a better feel for how big it will be when it prints out. For example, a short name like "Ted" would be printed using the 3.5X5 setting, while something longer like "Rebecca" would fit better in the 5X7 or even 8X10. That being said the only letter I've found do far that I do not care for in this font is the capital N so I swap it out for another font. (Can't remember which right now. ) FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
