edward Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 This was a free pattern from Karl Taylor, and I ran into a problem, which I would hate to destroy, He said these words were for an overlay, which he never said, and my problem is the os and the I won't work, now does anyone have any sugestions, how I can do this without the letters falling out. Hopefully the picture shows up. Thanks edward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Ed that text won't work unless you put bridges in but what you could do is print another copy and cut the letters as raised letters and glue them on the finished job so they will look 3d letters on top of the pattern. I mean't cut them on a new piece of wood. Roly Edited January 22, 2014 by Phantom Scroller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 easy as pie ,just erase a spot on the letters that will fall out before cutting i do this as i needed lots.On the o's erase the bottom a little so wood stays connected to the inside of the o. if you erase the top of the o it will look like a u.

WolfmoonCT Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I like the idea of using like some 1/8" thick wood and cutting the letters out on it.. then attaching them to the project.. the 3-D look would be sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Edward, If you really do not understand bridges very well, then I too would be in favor of cutting the pieces separately and gluing them in place. You couls also possibly cut them as inlays too, I believe, but I haven't done enough of that yet to be real sure. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It sounds to me like he meant to cut them as an over-lay, meaning cut the word INDIAN out separately and cut the letters for MOTORCLYCLE separately and glue them back onto the project. If you have already started cutting some of the letters, then you will probably have to add the bridges most of the other replies have mentioned. Good luck and God Bless!
