Was asked to make a simple remembrance plaque. Client had already written on it how and what they wanted to say on the board.



I ummmed' and I arrrred' whether to laser engrave template router it, or freehand it etc.

I tried various router bits then settled on using the Rotary Tool (Dremel) with router attachment and a very fine/small engraving bit and freehand traced her writings.


The idea was to keep it looking like it was hand written and hand made. The will now go and paint and sand the text. While I could have done that for them as well. They also wanted to be part of the process in making it.
