Router guide bushing..
That's what I was planning on doing, but when drawing out the template it looks like in the areas where the lines are close together there will be no guide for the bushing to run along.Router guide bushing..

It's a Porter Cable plunge.make a few practice runs "free-hand" on similar material and you will have a personally engraved initial. (and yes, you CAN do it). What kind of router do you have ?
Welcome Belowe,Hi, I'm making a jewelry/music box for my daughter. I was planning on making a template to rout our her initial into the top of the box, but wanted to use the font in her wedding invitations. I was going to make a template out of 1/4" hardboard, but in trying to lay it out I don't think it will work, too much play. There is no way I could do it freehand. Any suggestions or how to make a template? Maybe 3 templates for the different sections of the letter?
Help! I'm stuck.
Thanks !!! View attachment 400837
Mr. Harrysin has a pdf with a job exactly than yours. He uses a skie set with a trimmer router to make very delicate letters on boxes tops.Hi, I'm making a jewelry/music box for my daughter.

Just a suggestion. If it is for a jewellery box the Porter Cable router would seem to me a little too large for the task. Have you considered e.g. a Dremel with it own small router attachment. I have a very large family of grandchildren and great grand children that I am always making something for. this is the reason I use the Dremel for very small tasks. The Dremel or similar tools you will find a very useful for many tasks that are awkward for the lager tools. Hope this may help.It's a Porter Cable plunge.
