Inlaying letters
« 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?
best regards,

Bud Prine
