3D changing words

All they have done is cut out the names using a 3D technique and then cut them apart and staggered them. You can find tutorials on 3D scrolling on YouTube. Search for Gwinnett woodworkers. They have a few. The one you show here looks like it was done using 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" wood in the appropriate length. The pattern is then done with the names one above the other in a way that each name will be centered on each side of the wood blank with the centerline squarely on one edge of the blank. Very important that it be centered alone one edge. Drill blade entry hokes in each letter and then cut them out. I'd use a #5 or 7 super skip tooth blade to clear the sawdust out of the kerf. Once finished with those cuts just run the piece through a table saw to separate all the letters. Then mount them to a suitable base in an offset configuration. I know this may be confusing so I suggest trying to find a video first

No idea if this will work.  This the same concept as Steve Good's of Jesus Lives compound https://www.stevedgood.com/jesuslives.pdf

I have done other compound projects and it is hit and miss.  Depending on the letters you some times loose part of the letter on the other side.  Trial and error.

Also problem when you have different length.  I tried a heart and the L.  Test first.

Here is the PDF and SVG.  Good Luck and let us know if you figure this out.

Bring your saw in the house.  Mine is sitting in what was and sort of still is our tv room.  Its under a multi-year renovation sort of thing and a disaster, so a little more dust doesn't hurt (i have a dust collection system connected).  

I'm in North Dakota, USA.  I think our high for today was 11*F.  Not sure what that is in Celsius, other than below 0.  There wasn't much wind so that was good.
