Letter Photo Board

BySCWD

My wife asked me to make a letter board for the home. I decided to mix it up a bit and add the option for photos as well. These are really neat to have for family announcements and welcoming family or guests. There are several designs out there but I decided to go with a more wood like design. I didn’t want the traditional felt board with plastic letters. Very tacky if you ask me.  Anyway, I got to use my router table again and I’m very much enjoying the extra room.

I used oak backings for the letters and just purchased the pre-cut wooden letters from my local hobby shop. My wife loves it and it’s rather fun making new messages on it. Especially when you’re the one who made it!

Materials Used:

  • 2×4 Stud
  • White Oak
  • 1/4″ Plywood
  • Hard Board
  • Titebond II Wood Glue
  • Pre-Cut Letters & Numbers
  • Watco Danish Oil (Dark Walnut)

    There has been a long pause on the channel due to many variables. The most important one is we moved to a new home and the adjustment has taken a lot of my focus away from woodworking. However, I’ve managed to get full rein of the garage and have started to create a workflow with…

  • Adjustable Tape Dispenser

    I wasn’t really needing a tape dispenser, but I saw a random video on YouTube and it gave me an idea. Honestly, I think it’s a great thing to have in the shop. This dispenser can accommodate all sizes of tapes in random orders as well. The dividers can be arranged in any order. I’ve…
