• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Signing off

Well to be exact sign finished. Was asked to make a house sign for the wife's friend. Nothing special when it comes to woodworking but as can be seen I will not make a sign writer by any means, but she was over the moon with it. Now her postmen know what house the letters should go to.

I think it looks really good, mate. Need to make new sign for ours that’s more visible from the road because the postcode goes to the centre of the street and deliveries are forever going astray.
 
Nice. Like the font. What is it?

Can see me doing something like this on the CNC.
 
Thank you guys

It is "Lucida handwriting"
 
You do not give yourself enough credit Derek. i can’t see anything wrong with that and would be happy to pay for work like that.
Does it need a full stop though?

Yes, that’s good, how did you physically get the letters onto the wood and then how did you paint/spray them?

Printed to the size required(on 3 sheets of A4 paper" and cut out making a stencil the first attempt I did try to spray but found I needed a spray photo adhesive so rubbed down and it left a very faint outline of the letters so reverted to a paint brush, which I should have done in the first place.

I still need to do a second one with "No Parking " on it so will go with the paint brush for that
