Double Sided Desktop Name Plate: Standing Slot Sign
Instruction
Information
This project was designed by me using Adobe Illustrator for iPad.
It uses 1/8 walnut and 1/8th Basswood.
The processes used are cut and engrave.
Before starting the project I spray painted the basswood board with gold spray paint and a clear coat and masked it. I cut and engraved it masking side up.
The name plates on each side are adhered with super glue gel.
The slot does not require glue, but can be backed with felt to protect your workspace.

Step1: Add project to the workspace
Cut red, engrave black, a slot sized in inches is included if you have thicker material. Delete my notes on the workspace before starting.

Step2: Cut red, engrave black.
If you are using one material and staining or painting your pieces after you can cut and engrave everything at once. The base is 12inches long and the plate 10in HS so everything with fit in the bed of a standard D1 at one time.
Step3: Clear coat for display
Clear coat lightly to protect, or brush on polyacrylic topcoat before assembly and let dry.
