Aluminum nameplate
July 30/2005
The nameplate of my house is 12 years passed after making. I remade the name plate with aluminum.
1.The material of this name plate is Zelkova tree, I made it 12 years ago.
2.Triming the rectangle plate from a 4 mm thick aluminum plate.
3.Paste the printed out drawing with a spray glue. and, Drill a 1.5 mm hole to the plate. The hole for through the saw blade.
4.Saw blade is 1.2 mm wide, 0.4 mm thick.I could not cut it quickly. It will take more than an hour to cut one character.
5.The clipping was completed in 5 hours.
6.Drilling 2.5mm for M3 tap.
7.Apply a primary sprayer to improve the riding of the paint.
8.Painted in silver color.
Mounted with four M3 countersunk screws.
I do not like the shiny feeling, but I think that it will settle down over time.


Nameplate
Dec. 10/2005
My house is 8 this year after building. The name of the nameplate of the gate disappeared. This nameplate was setting up the tape of the alphabet. I decided to make the letter of the nameplate with zelkova tree.
1.When I rubbed the surface of the tape with the finger, the tape had peeled off.
2.The material is a zelkova tree.I divide into the 8 mm thickness in band saw, and I plane.
3.I picture a name with the personal computer and I set it to the zelkova tree board with the sprayer paste.
4.I cut out a template black part with the jigsaw board.Because the character was small, any time made me damage a blade.I used the blade of 0.8m/m.
5.I exchanged a blade frequently and it was complete.I want a jigsaw board with the good type that the upper part arm bends.
6.I used IN-Wood for the paint.The paint weathers the storm.
I install in the pedestal and I am completion. Next, I will make a signboard at the atelier.
