Title: Inlaying letters
Post by: budprine on June 23, 2010, 08:22:40 pm
I've built a number of bases for my various power tools. 
One in particular I call my sanding center.  It supports my Oscillating Spindle Sander and my Combo Belt Sander/Disk Sander.  In this table I'm going to install 8 drawers to hold all the abrasives.  I'd like to inlay the product type in letters on the drawer front so the various drawers would say:  Paper, Drums, Disks, Cloth (Carborundum) Screens, etc. 
The Drawer front is 3/4" Pine roughly 5 1/2 by 14".  I plan on stack cutting at about a 2 1/2 degree table tilt using walnut to inset into the pine.  The question is what font and how big in points?
Suggestions?
As an additional question I would like suggestions on how to inlay the centers of certain letters such as the "O" or an "e".  Is this an inlay in the letter inlay?
