Hey Friends! Welcome
In today’s video I’m sharing with you how I made a wooden arch backdrop for a friends wedding, using a jigsaw, miter saw, circular saw, and a scroll saw. I started by making a circle jig for my Dewalt battery powered jigsaw. Then I cut a 1/2" thick 4'x8' sheet of plywood down to 3'-6"x 7' which made it more manageable to work with and move around with. I used the cut left over piece from the plywood to build a base for the backdrop. I framed it out with 2x4's to give it more weight. I installed heavy duty L-brackets to the base and added two 2x4 pieces to the backdrop to give myself something to drill the L-backets into. Once everything was built I painted the backdrop with a white primer. while that dried I move on to cutting out the wood lettering for the backdrop. I used an over head projector to size the lettering and traced letters onto the wood I would then cutout on my scroll saw. I made each word to cut out more manageable by cutting them into smaller piece. I drilled pilot holes in the letters where the centers need to be cut out and worked on those areas first by cutting them out on the scroll saw. Once all the letters were cut out I sanded them and painted them white with spray paint. Once everything was dry I painted the letters a pink color that the Bride to be requested. I also painted the backdrop arch a light beige color. I then used the over head projector once more to line up the lettering on the backdrop and I used 3M double sided mounting tape to attach the letters. I know I could have cut the letters out on my CNC, but I wanted to make this a simple and easy project. Hope you enjoyed it and found some use from it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I edited this video myself (super proud) with Adobe Premiere Pro. I’ve learned everything thus far about editing via CZcams tutorials, and a little trial and error along the way.

Nice job lindsay. Looks great. I like how you use the projector. I’m sure mr and mrs. Flores will like it. Tell Eric I said hi
Hey Shawn! What's up buddy!
@@nobadtides hey Eric 👊✊🤙
@@Shawnbbeckner You're awesome!
Thanks! Will do!
Very cool jig. Of course my first thought was come Halloween you could make some excellent tombstones with that thing.
Good call!
You are so talented, I've followed you for awhile now and appreciate your varied skills. I just wish you would post more videos!
Thank you, I will and thank you for the feedback 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thank you so much 🤗
I'll have to get married now. I wonder what the next step is . . .
Totally 😆
Short and sweet. Is that text a font or is that lettering you did by hand?
Got it from dafont.com
Hi hun can u share the panel paint color you used
I think it was called blush by Behr
You were able to get the letters off without breaking them or lifting paint? I use that same 3M tape a lot, and it's got really good adhesion (once you FINALLY get the backing material off... That probably took longer than the rest of the entire project).
Totally agree that’s why I try and cut a small of pieces as possible which helps with removing letters and replacing them
