Along with a vast  \nrange of cutters, jigs and gadgets – many of which you can also make for yourself – it can help produce high-quality woodwork.  \nThis series is intended to show you what the router can do, while assuming the reader has a general level of woodworking knowledge. We hope to show you the aspects of each project that specifically involve the routerand how this great bit of kit can expand your woodworking skills.  \nEach month we will highlight the jigs, cutters and gadgets you will need to help you get more from this incredible machine. Feel free to send us pictures of your routing endeavours, or post them on the WPP forum [at:](at: www.woodworkersinstitute.com)[ www.woodworkersinstitute.com](at: www.woodworkersinstitute.com)  \nNow, we previously  \nhouse the  \nname, put on the  \n.  \n3  \nFit a straight cutter that matches the guidebush – fortunately, a 16mm cutter will exactly match the size. In 6mm stock you will need two passes to break through into a sacrificial board placed underneath. Start with the trickiest curved shapes, so ifit goes wrong you haven’t wasted lots of effort making the whole template! Proceed with care, following the pencil lines and avoid moving from side to side as it will widen the guidebush slots  \n5  \nThe lengthwise slots are made using a batten as a fence. Short straight sections of letters are also done at the sametime, linking up with the previous freehand curves. You will probably notice that some letters such as O and A maybe taller than other squarer letters – this is because it is intended to look more visually pleasing  \n4  \nThe vertical legs of each letter are done using a router  \nT-square clamped on the board. Note how the slots are not only wider than the original letter profiles but also overrun to meet the top and bottom guidebush pencil lines  \n6  \nUse a sharp chisel to help lift the paper off and clean away any sticky residue with white spirit. Check the shapes are smooth and use a half round file to correct any obvious defects in the shaping  \n7  \nThe house name template ready for use. It is only going to be used once but as you proceed in setting out and machining it, the process gets easier. The tricky shapes are, of course, any curves as they will be formed freehand.
