all the letters and numbers of any sizes right there on your computer, that is if you are running microsoft. I think each version of microsoft used different names but  they use WORD in the title somewhere.. I use microsoft 10 and it is WordPad on my computer...

You do have to have a printer but the 20-30 dollar ranges is all you need if it is an all in one printer..

 

I use it for all my letters and numbers and when I need to cut out a clock dial I find a dial that looks good on the internet, take a picture of it, print it , then send it to Rapid Resizer on my computer, resize it to fit the clock I am building, cut the dial out, glue the pattern on the wood, scroll saw the numbers an hey , a free wood dial..This dial was round when I printed it out but I used Rapid Resizer to make it oblong shape to fit the area on front of the clock. My wife paid for the Rapid Resizer

 

program for her  

stained glass makings and have no idea how much it cost. This is what I use to enlarge or reduce a pattern I print out from the internet....

 

I just noticed something in the middle picture..  Notice the lines under Jeff and Sherri........ This is what I do to keep all the letters of a name all together for it is way easier to glue a name on the wood than each little letter... I'll see if I can find a name completely cut out to show the total of what I do.

 

I always try to have at least two pieces of wood of each letter connecting to the brown log to make things more sturdy. Then mix up a little epoxy and you got a name thingy.....Too bad the clock in the last picture got burned up along with everything but the clothes on their back about three years ago. 

If you make small letters like these you will need a set of small drill bits.. The set of #'s 60 to 80 is about 11 or 12 bucks

Thanks!

Beautiful work!
