I make a lot of signage, often using bandsaws and CNC machines. But not everyone has access to such tools, which can make creating 3D letters complicated. In this video, to demonstrate the use of paper and paper board to make letters, I create the “Make:” logo in chip board (orange) and a thinner paper (green) using only razors and Jade glue. It makes the process simpler to use a stronger board for the face of the letter, and the thinner paper to create the side of the letter. Enjoy!
