Project Information

My son is a senior in high school this year and I was asked to make something special for him and seven other seniors in the marching band. I made these name plates using my father's old Craftsman 13" scroll saw. I created the template using Microsoft Visio. They are cut from 1/2" solid oak. The MV logo is cut from thin pine and painted, then glued onto the name plate. Each one took a total of about 3 hours work. The kids loved them so that made it all worth it. I wonder if it would have been easier and quicker on one of those fancy new expensive scroll saws. lol

Great project. I guess it's good to be a friend of Matthew - get a nice sign from his Dad. Well done, I can't imagine that you would have not done any better on an expensive scroll saw.

Oh boy, once the word gets out that Matthew's Dad makes name plates. You did a great job and have inspired me. I have a senior at home too.

that's some dedication right there!

how were you able to hold onto the first one long enough to not ruin the surprise for the rest of them?
