Next job

Working on a large lettering sign for a chemist shop. First job to glue up some sheets of plywood to saw out the letters from. A lot of clamps. The two curved battens are left over from a big arched door frame, clamps on either side apply pressure in the center of the work where the clamp jaws can't reach.



It took most of a day on the bandsaw to get the two board cut into the stacks of characters.



Then I routed the edges of the larger characters as an initial step toward final shaping.
