How To Make DIY Letter Stencils for Your Router : Sign Making

These are the Dimensions I used for all my letter patterns.  Obviously the width of each letter with vary depending on  the letter and whether or not it is Capitalized, but if you kept a consistent 1/8 spacer on the side of either letter your alignment will be fine.  I mounted all my letters 1inch from the base of the pattern.

Specifications for this project:

- Font- HighTower Text

- PT - 400

- 5/16 - Bushing

- 1/8 inch Spiral Cutting Bit

- !/8 spacing on either side of the letters on the pattern

- Pattern material at least 1/4 inch thick

- Pattern material 6 inches tall

With these measurements and the video below you can make your own letter stencils and signs

How To Make A TV Stand Cabinet Out Of Old Doors

The first door I started off with was 78- 1/4 x 29 15/16.  

The second door 78-1/4 x 29-15/16

*Keep In Mind* All my measurements are based on that door size.  Finding an old door exactly the same as mine might not be super easy, but you can adjust all the measurements and cuts to work with your size door.  A general  rule of thumb is reclaimed materials will not always be square/true, so use all these measurements as a rough guide not a hard fact.  What you are working with will be different then what I worked with.  Contact us on our Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqKCuJ4_6T4H_3ZOPSPANHg page with questions.  Using this blog and our accompanying Youtube videos of the build process shows all the steps.
