Started with a stair tread from Home Depot. Cut off the corners with the scroll saw. Routered the edges with the Roman Ogee bit. Then I printed out the letters and traced them on with transfer paper. Used a Dremel with a very small round bit to cut the letters. Filled with black acrylic paint. Sanded off the excess from the face. Finished with Amber colored Shellac from Bullseye.
Sign I just made for a friend, done with a Dremel

If you managed that level of precision with a fuckin Dremel, I think you missed your true calling as a brain surgeon.

Wow thanks! I’ve been practicing! I guess it shows

Nah, I've done work with a dremel before.
This level of precision was much harder than any brain surgery.

You have a much steadier hand than I do - that writing would have looked like it was carved into the wall at an insane asylum if I tried to hand-dremel it.

With a Dremel free-hand???

Everyone is so surprised! I was wondering if it was good enough. I guess I have a talent for this!

Very impressive. Never tried. Am now inclined to do a test and see how difficult it is given all the other comments.

I learned a lot from YouTube with Matt Carves, Cornelius creations, and Logs carving club
