Project I desperately am in need of

[Scott H]

Must ask....in the CW website, one of the projects featured in their album is the "Amazing Grace" plaque. Basically looks like a sheet of music with notes and lyrics with a very nice graphic. This was one of my fathers favorite songs and we sang it at his funeral last year. I would absolutely LOVE to get that template from whoever designed that project. Contacted CW about it and was told a customer just submitted the photo with a little information about it, however they do not have the project in a template. If anybody has that fantastic template and would like to share, please contact me PLEASE!

Is this the one you are looking for? If it is it needs a type font installed on your computer. ( Font may be named "MusiQwik").

Here is the Font you need to install.

Yep, that's the one. I have been trying to figure out how to install the font, comes up with all letters and not music notes for now. Any hints that will help me get this font into my system? Hey, really, thank you again for this.

Copy the font icon, then go to your hard drive on my Windows XP it is drive "C" open the windows folder then the font folder and just paste in the font folder.

Then open the MPC again and it should work. You also need to unZIP the font folder I sent.

Unzipped the files into a directory then double click OR right click and select install. After that load the MPC into designer and you are good to go.

Edit: you must do this to each font file in he zip archive.

It worked! Thanks again. One last thing...with the text being so small, what is the best way to darken the letters to stand out? I used flat black lightly sprayed on and sanded off the top, but I'm afraid it may lose the detail in the smaller letters.

The project was made to carve with the 90 degree bit.

I changed the bit to a 60 degree bit and changed the height to .500 inches and locked things to a 1/4 inch grid. This made the letters carve deeper. You could carve this on a larger board that also would make the letters carve deeper.

Here is the new MPC.

Once again, thank you so much for you assistance with this. This is a new machine to me, actually the school where I teach shop at. I was fortunate enough to be able to take it home and "play" with it before classes begin in a couple weeks. I'll do my usual dusting of black spraypaint and sand with this new file and let you know how it worked out. There is an Amish supply store nearby that sells a great selection of different woods. Just found a 14" wide 1 by Cherry that this would be an ideal candidate for.
