I recently removed the home-made sign on our dock from the previous owner (who is dead, we've lived in the house almost 2 years) and am thinking about putting our name up. That would require making a sign which I haven't done for awhile.
I looked at lettering templates briefly but the reviews weren't so good. I also don't plan to make many, if any, more signs so I hesitate to go that way.
I make a large sign for a church we used to attend before we moved to SC. I used a lettering template (cheap drafting tools) to draw out the letters on 5mm luan plywood, then I cut the shapes out with a jigsaw, then I routed the sign. It worked well. I'm thinking of doing this again.
Comments? Other ideas?
