Has anyone had any success making a house name sign using a router?
I have 'reclaimed' some oak kitchen doors from a skip and rather fancy
trying to make a sign.

Is there a technique? Do I need to make some type of jig to get nice looking
letters, or do I need to be super careful?

Have a poke around the Trend web site. They have lettering stencils
if you are looking to do evenly shaped and spaced letters. They also
have some jigs if you are mainly looking to do freehand work.
There are then cutters of various types such as V and round bottom
types. I believe that there may be some PDF files covering how to
use these items.

I would practice on a piece of softwood first, not least to see
whether you can fit Dunroamin, Cartref or Ambleside into the space.
