Make a name sign with a JIGSAW!!!
Make a name sign with a JIGSAW!!!
This is how I make name signs using a jigsaw! Maybe you’re like me and you don’t have a cnc router, or a laser that it powerful enough to cut name signs. Why let that stop you? Here are some tips to help you create your own signs!
1. Print the name to be the size that you want.
2. Cut your mdf or wood to the size of your sign.
3. Place clear contact paper on the mdf/wood and use spray adhesive to glue the name to the contact paper.
4. Drill pilot holes with a 7/32 drill bit on all the inside letters and around the edges of the name (not on the lines).
5. Using a SCROLL blade on your jigsaw, cut out the insides of the letters.
6. Cut the outside and tape as you go, so that your sign remains reinforced and you have a sturdy-ish surface to work with.
7.Remove the contact paper when you’re done.
8. Take a nap, because this just took you at least 2 hours. That doesn’t include the time to design the sign, nor the time to paint it!
You did an excellent! I just need to learn how to create the large stencil now. Thank you

Can I use 3/4 inch birch plywood?
Great job! I want to make one, but much smaller. I read your answers to the comments and I’m so grateful that I did. I guess I’ll have to invest in a scroll saw.
