Just a 'little' scrolling on this one
« on: August 26, 2010, 01:50:47 pm »
Our son ask me to make some signs for their church in Manhattan, Ks. so I gave it a try.

A little scrolling.....





A little frame making....




And the finished project up close....




I cut the lettering in 1/4" burch ply and glued it to another piece painted black. I made the frame/legs out of cedar and applyed 3 coats of Spar Urethane for weather protection. and then covered the signs with plexiglass on both sides for protection from the elements.
As I said it is not much scrolling but more than I've had time for for a long while.

Very nice RRoger.

BTW... I keep checking the mail, but my bench isn't here yet.  Maybe it got lost in the mail?   :-\

The font is from an OLD lettering book that I have had since I was 13 0r 14 years old. It is called "Text" or "Black letter".
I just drew the letters on a piece of typing (or print) paper as large as I could then ran it through the copier to make patterns. (I wanted to keep the orginal in case I ever have to re-make the sign.) The plywood sign measures 12" x 15" for a refernce for you.
I also want to thank everyone for the nice comments. It is such a simple project but, is the first scrolling job that I've done for quite awhile.

PS. Janet, please don't wait with bated breath for the mailman to deliver your bench.  ::) It is ment to be a "DIY" project.  ;)  You can go to Lowes and get the "kit" and follow the instructions imbeded in your mind to build your own bench the way you want it. ;D
