takes about 30-60 minutes

supplies needed

supplies to cut out letter
- printer
- paper
- cardboard(I used an old Pizza box)
- box cutter
- pencil
- jigsaw

supplies if letter has a inside piece
- drill
- drill bits

sand paper if desired

choose the letter and style you like and print to desired size.

tape edges of paper to card board for cut out

use a box cutter to cut along the letters edge into the cardboard.

remove the paper and check if you need to cut the lines again. the cut must go through the cardboard.

carefully remove letter from the cardboard so you have a stencil of your letter.

place your plywood on the bottom with pallet pieces on top.

next place your stencil in desired location and trace on to pallet wood.

using either hammer and nails, a nail gun, or screws attach pallet pieces to plywood making sure outline lines up correctly.

following the outline of the stencil, use a jigsaw to cut all lines and remove scrap wood

Some letters will have small pieces that need to be removed from the middle. follow these steps.

1. find out what size hole your jigsaw blade will fit into.

2. drill a hole into piece that needs to be removed.

3. use jigsaw to follow lines and cut piece free.

now your letter should be free and you can sand and finish as desired.
