People trying to find our house have had to rely on looking at the neighbour&#8217;s house to figure out what number we are. So I&#8217;ve been promising my wife for years that I would make a nice set of numbers to fit to the front of the house to stop all the confusion, but up to now, there&#8217;s just always been something else more important to do \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So when I finally got a bit of spare time (and more importantly a bit of motivation in the form of my shiny new bandsaw) I decided to design and build a nice door number.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This was actually a pretty simple project. The first step was to print out some numbers at the right size and in a font we liked which I would use as a template to cut out some numbers using the bandsaw.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_230\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaelbibby.co.uk\/woodwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DN_00.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-230\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-230\" title=\"Printed Numbers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.michaelbibby.co.uk\/woodwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DN_00-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michaelbibby.co.uk\/woodwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DN_00-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.michaelbibby.co.uk\/woodwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DN_00.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The number printed onto paper in the right size and font<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-1844989176048259\"; \/* Blog Post Ad Small *\/ google_ad_slot = \"3506504725\"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I had a whole load of Iroko wood which I had ordered for a garden table project that never ended up being built.
