Go to either Woodcraft or Rockler and search for sign crafter. It is a set of letter templates on a rack where you can space the letters evenly apart and follow them with a router equipped with guide bushings. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 9:04 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Lettering
Hello, Has anyone ever done any sort of lettering work in wood? A friend told me of a set up he had a long time ago. It was some sort of sign kit made by craftsman I think whereby, you used a router and followed metal cut outs or templates to carve letters into wood. He used this kit to make name plates for people's desks in their offices? I think it would be nice to be able to carve letters. Especially, since I never learned how to really write letters by hand. If anyone has had any good experiences with stamps, I'd like to hear about that too. All I have ever had was a set of metal letters you put against wood and smacked with a hammer to make an imprint and that wasn't great.
