Who needs a sticker when you've got a jigsaw and mdf-wood (don't know if mdf is the right word in English)

Wait, that's not right. This is much better:

Looking good Rob. Curious about how your wall will look in the end. But I think it will be amazing.

I did it all by hand with one of these:

The size is about 50 x 50 cm. I'm gonna paint it white so it will stand out on my blue wall.

It's really not that much work. I printed a blown
up trefoil on paper and cut all the pieces out with a pair of scissors. Then used a pencil to outline all the pieces on the wood. And then saw everything with the jigsaw. Most work is sanding everything.

I only used a machine to cut the two stripes because there is no way I can make such a long straight line with a handsaw. The sanding was what gave me a sore arm.

But here is the trick, the mdf is only 4 mm thick Wink So it's pretty easy to saw. Hardest part was the inside of the letters. I had to drill a hole first to get my saw in there.

You guys should try it, it's actually a lot of fun. Made me feel like I was 10 years old Laughing
