You will need to make some support blocks and some drop on blocks to keep the letters in place and drill some holes on the end parts...

I found out the best way is to use longer stock than you need for the sign then once you have the router job done cut off the waste.

=========
Bob that IS the exact setup that I bought. Just the wrong name, sorry. What is the thickness of the blocks and supports that you made. It looks as though YOU have this all figured out. I ended up playing with the router freehand last night, just because I got tired of staring at in the box untouched. I really would like to use this stencil, (my freehand sucks) if you wouldn't mind post or emailing me the sizes I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT! Are they made out of hardboard? Luan? The spacers are a BIG issue, I was missing the left spacer when I received the kit. What is the deal with two turnlocks, (not 100% sure of the sizes) one was 5/8 and I think the other was 7/16. But the bit (included) only fit the 5/8 turnlock, BUT the 5/8 turnlock DIDN'T fit the smaller letters? I don't get it?

Cheers
