Step 2: Cutting the Design
2.1 – Cut Parts
Per the drawing and layout drawing, cut all parts to size
with table saw and miter saw
2.2 – Lettering Layout
Spray the back of the traced design with adhesive and
allow it to dry for a temporary bond. Then place on the
boards to be cut. This eliminates retracing to pattern.
2.3 – Cutting the lettering
We used a bandsaw with a 1/4” blade to cut the lettering.
The centers of the A’s and O’s were cut with a coping
saw.
NOTE: photo shows and auxiliary bed (plywood) on the
bandsaw to provide better support for the small parts .
