Harry Potter 9 3/4 Train station sign

Instructions

I start with a 11.25" wide x 16" long board, then scale the sign down to fit my size of board. I use the ENGRAVING bit and set it on ENGRAVING mode. *Take your time when engraving for optimum accuracy and straight lines.* While engraving the lettering, i make use of the auto feature while holding the Shaper in place as much as possible. After all engraving has been done, i switch over to a 1/4" UP-SPIRAL bit to cut out my shape, cutting outside of the line. 3 passes at 1/4" segments were done as my material is 3/4" thick Now that my work is done with the shaper, i proceed to spray paint any areas that have engraving, crafting paint may be easier to use/sand. Once the paint is dry, i start with 80 grit and move up the grits until my desired grit. Sanding removes the paint only on the top surface, leaving paint inside the engraved areas A 1/8" round-over bit was used to ease the front edge. This is optional Odies Oil was applied for finish Picture frame hook attached to the back for easy installation.
