Basicallly speaking, you can just find a suitable Font and print it to the

The second one she used will have to be fine tuned to eliminate the
fall-outs. (Floaters)

Bob, you didn't say if you wanted the name to stand or mount it on a base? I have made several free standing, from 3/4 in. Oak. I just have the person I'm making it for, sign their name with a magic marker & make adjustments to the actual cut-out pattern. Some I have included a base in the name for some of them & it is all one piece. Here is an example of one.
I've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.
If you google...
Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.
