Thanks Paul for the patterns, these were so easy to cut.  They are cut from 1/2" pine and I have no idea what blade I used because I cut them last weeks and my memory does not last that long.  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:  I will not mention that the customer wants to paint them because Melanie said that I should not mention when something is going to be painted so I won't, OK.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Hi Marg:

You're welcome

They turned out really good

Well done

Thanks for showing us

As for painting them, I have no problem with painted wood projects

Sometimes a little color adds to the design - Kind of makes it your own

Nice job and painting on something like that is fine.  Years ago when I was doing a lot of names, I created a template of the letters I liked and just drew a line on the wood and traced around the letters.  I used to work part time at HD and before Christmas we set up a couple of weekends and did cuttings for all the kids that came through the store.

Those look great Marg.  You're right - I said we shouldn't mention if we were going to PAINT   ;), as noted in your emoticons - you knew I was teasing - its all about that wood grain isn't it! But then, there are times that paint works - really its all about what the customer wants isn't it!  So, feel free to mention Painting or not.  :o  I'm sure there are times that I will want to paint something. :cry:  :lol:

I do like them.  Very nice work.

 

As I also do a lot of name plates; I will be using the idea of joining the lettering on both top and bottom as seems to fit. Thanks to Fab4 for that idea.

 

Paint or not paint is a very individual choice.

 

I like some things painted and others not painted.

 

My very plain toy cars/trucks seem to have more appeal unpainted While the more realistic ones; like my avatar, seem to look better painted.
