    Love them all Dan..Fantastic patterns and what a great idea, hope they sell well for you. I tried my magic wand and nothing happened.

    Hi Roly,I used a number2 blade...That is another thing you can play with to get the angle you want.Bigger blade will give a bigger kerf. I like the number 2 with around 6 to 7 degrees.

    Thanks Kevin...that is just one piece 3/4 pine...the letters are part of the same board.

    Roly,if you give it a go..remember to get the letters to raise always cut Counterclockwise.to get them to inset,cut clockwise. Play with the angle to get the height you want. Here is one I did with just the 4 house numbers. You can see the letters are raised higher as I used about 7 degrees to make the cuts.

    Great idea and for a great cause. I tip my hat to both you and your nephew.

    Thanks Randy, I have had pretty good luck with the signs lasting.I have always made them from pine, stained and then the spar varnish. Maybe a combination of all three.Never got any complaints yet.

    Very nice Steve, wood looks great. wish we had a daffodil in bloom here. I made the smaller vase.they are a very nice ornament

    Thank you Rob..Because there is so many letters,I had to reduce the angle to about 4 or 5 degrees.This makes it raise just about an eighth of an inch.

    Thank you DW,the size is 5.5 by 18 inches..That is about as long I can make it on my 16 inch delta.

    A fellow asked me go make him a sign for his gate entitled Do Drop In.This is what I put together. It is 3/4 inch pine stained with dark walnut. Then given 3 coats of spar varnish. The letters I use just paint.I do not put spar on the white letters as they will turn yellow. The letters and horses are raised by tilting the saw table to the left.Cut Counterclockwise. I usually tilt the table around 7 degrees, but because of so many letters here I only went 5 degrees.The centers in the letters O and D, I cut clockwise which will recess that part back.These are fun to make and the raised letters set it off nicely.
