Just thought I would put together a video on how I make these letters. Maybe it can help someone build their own. Good luck! #woodworking #partyrentals #marquee #woodworking #balloondecoration #diy #backdrops #graco Timestamps: 00:00 How to make wood Marquee letters and numbers - DIY build 00:10 Drawing out the letter R 00:38 Cutting out the letter with jigsaw 01:03 Sanding out the letter 01:10...
What measurements are the letters? I'm looking to build my own
4 ft and 3 ft.
Is the bottom flat part an added wood part? Does that make the marquees more stable? I have bought used marquee business off a local man and some letters don’t seem as stable as I would like. Right now for sure the S and 5. They seem top Heavy and lean alittle.
I added the bottom for extra support. It seems to work just fine especially for outdoor events.
This well be handy for me as a carpenter and event organiser
Type of lights did you use
Bought them on line from Target. 20ct Incandescent Outdoor String Lights G40 Clear Bulbs - White Wire - Room Essentials™
Hey man they look amazing. I recently started this project for my wife, I have a question on the stand you put on the bottom of the “R” can you share the size and if you made it for every letter?
Thank you, the bottom base stand are usually the width of the letter. However the length from front to back is 9 inches on all letters and numbers. I hope that helps.
FONT?
Bought the drawings on Etsy.com. They don’t say which font though.
Hi, I love your work thanks! Can you tell me the songs you used in the video? The song is nostalgic.. I couldn't find by searching.. Thanks!
How do you store them so they don't take up too much space? A whole set of wooden letters and numbers must be quite bulky!
They definitely take up space. Ideally a shed. But I have them in my garage 😁
What type of wood did you use and where did you get the BP? All i need is dimensions for mine
On this particular build I used MDF. But I would rather use Sandy plywood 1/2 inch from Home Depot.
Great job! What thickness of plywood did you use?

Hey great video and great work
These are amazing. Where do you get your measurements for the letters?
I bought them on Etsy
What was that little tool you place next to the mitta saw and how do you really use it. Also what was the 2differnt fillers you used. One in a tube the next look like from a tub
If I’m correct you may be referring to the digital angle finder. That helps me get the angle I need for the trim. Cool little tool if you ask me. And I use wood filler.
I Bet your final project came out nice. I couldnt finish watching it because you were spinning the camera around. The Nausea that gave me wouldnt let me finish. Next video please try and not spin the camera around so much. I would like to be able to see your finished project. Thanks
Sorry about that. Thanks!!!

Where do you get your templates for wood marquee?
I purchased the drawings on Etsy.com attached is a link to the website. www.etsy.com/shop/DIYWeddingMarket?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1149223946
@@socalwoodmarquee THANK YOU
Buenos dias vendes tienes alguna página donde se pueda adquirir los planos para hacerlos. Exito y bendiciones

Those look amazing, do you have to treat the ends of the MDF to keep it from absorbing the paint and swelling?
Thank you! I have not had to treat the MDF ends. I do sand them a bit. I stopped using MDF for the Marquee letters and numbers due to the fact that it is heavy. The best plywood I found is at Home depo. Its called Sande 1/2inch and its $50. The marquees come out great when using that plywood. 🙂
@@socalwoodmarquee Thanks so much! ❤️ Im trying to make this a small business :) wish me luck 😀
@@socalwoodmarquee is that better than birch plywood ?
@@Patron77770 birch is probably better but also more expensive. Your looking at about $70 1/2 4x8. Vs Sande $50 1/2 4x8.

what light do you use ? and size of drill bit for the holes?

Great work! Do you find people want to rent the 3 foot or 4 foot more?
I have noticed that the numbers in 3 feet rent out quit often. And the letters in 4 feet are rented often as well.
How tall are the letters? And do you have a link to the blueprint?
The letters are 4 feet. link. www.etsy.com/listing/1149223946/4ft-marquee-symbol-build-plans-and?ref=yr_purchases
