- I've been working on a kitchen makeover (see the "BEFORE" and "AFTER") and the walls needed some wooden kitchen signs. The most popular signs are "EAT" kitchen signs, but I chose to make one that reads "SAVOR." With just a few materials and one afternoon, you can easily make wooden kitchen signs yourself. Here's how!

Thrift Diving I didn't know I could use a scroll blade in a jigsaw....awesome info. Thank you for sharing.💖💖💖
So after you cut your word. . Sand and use 220. . honestly you don't have to use 150 or 180 then 220 just use 220 first. . .the. If you wanted to paint sides you can stain the use vinyl (651), place on the side of stain and lay it down (make sure place it firmly down with a wedge). . Spray from the back and there you go. . Depends on vinyl should not leak. Also I think you will get more life out of your blade and wrist lol if you use 1/2" vs 3/4" wood. . . Plus I don't think you'll lose the look you want. .. finally maybe think about finding a silhouette machine. . They run about 75 to 200 bucks used ide get the #2 or #3. It will cut out your letters for you and all you have to do is tape them .. save you some time I feel . Plus better product at the end. . hopefully I don't sound rude in anyway shape or form. . I'ma fan. . Can't wait for the next video. .
My husband, my ex had that same disorder. Glad you had your surgery and glad you’re savoring your meals now.
So happy you are feeling better! That must’ve been frustrating and so scary! We live in a fallen sinful world but God loves us and I’m thankful for your doctors and healing.
Sorry to hear you are having eating/swallowing problems. Stay strong. We love you. God bless.
Such a cute sign. I've always wanted to use power tools but never have. Great video 🤗
Love this. I have made many wall word pieces. Started with the jig saw but then used a scroll saw. Addicted! Found it much easier to get the details!
Looks perfect! I'm so glad that the surgery worked for you and that you are doing so well. I look forward to seeing more make over videos!
Awesome! You’ve been updating and tackling room-by-room!
Can’t wait to see the kitchen makeover, and thanks for the advice on the jigsaw blade.
Thank you for sharing this. I see these cut outs all the time when I film my Dollar Tree videos. I’ve wondered about all the ways people can use them. This is a great idea. I love how it turned out. I’m learning new ideas and skills from you! Your talent is inspiring. I am Happy to be learning and growing together with you.
Can’t wait to see the finish project for your kitchen especially the bay window 👍🏼
That is a great idea. I can't wait to try it.
Great job! I would probably cut my fingers off with that saw. Love how your project turned out.👍
Omg I'm so happy you finally you posted I have been waiting and love your vid
Ha!. Funny thing is yesterday you were in my thoughts. I was like, I haven’t seen any new video from you. And then this morning this on came out. And also perfect because I want to do this type of letters. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Yo Kid!! Was a little taken back to hear about your condition but, so glad surgery went well. Just another reason on why your positive attitude shines through so much!! A fantastic little project Kid!! And man oh man does the garage make me so envious (in a good way). Fall is quickly approaching and lawns are slowing down and I'll finally be able to finish up the storage. Hope all is well, God Bless & Dirty Jersey out!!!
I love it. Words that mean something to you are so important. I can’t wait to see you make over. If possible,can you tell me what your paint color is? I am looking for exactly that!
OMG... How Did I Miss This Video?? ... Serena, Great Work... I Just Love It!!
Love the sign and No, I have not done any projects with a jigsaw. We do have one, but I've never used it. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh, you have to use it!! It is probably my favorite tool. If you watch my jigsaw tutorial (warning: it's 29 minutes long, I think!) you will know enough to start using your jigsaw right away. These projects are a lot of fun!! :) Here is the tutorial ~~> th-cam.com/video/hfJBghWqYI0/w-d-xo.html
Looking forward to your kitchen makeover because my kitchen is in desperate need of one! Thanks for your videos - love your channel!
Very detailed. Wish I was that talented.
This was so good!! Thanks for sharing!
I love it! I also love your cool workshop too!
I love youuu
Mwaaaah! Love ya back! :)
Love it!!!👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks for the video. If you have a Cricut you can do the same thing. Your video gives us options and that makes me happy.
Very cool idea!
I love your projects.
I'm glad I saw this. I tried to use my jigsaw for the first time and it did not go well. It was jumping out of the wood panel I tried to cut. I did drill a pilot hole but my blade ended up bending. I'll go to home depot and get the blade you suggested.
Heyyyyy👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 I love your creativity👍🏽
Great job and I'm glad you're feeling better. It sounds silly, but a jigsaw scares me. I'll get over it, but in the meantime, I'll enjoy your continued makeovers.
Looks great!
I love a woman who can handle a large tool.
This is going to be so random but I just saw a deluth womens tank top add on tv and I'm pretty sure you're at the end of it sanding a door and I feel so slow because I've seen it a billion times and just now noticed you in it!! How cool!!
HAHA, yes, that is me!! :) So funny that you just made the connection! :)
this is so cool.
Very cool, thank u
Great job!
Hi!!! I enjoyed watching you make the world Savor white was a great choice. No I'm not making anything yet i slow with projects trying to do better. ☺
thank you so much for your video now i can do this too.
You are awesome!
Great job! I've used a Spyder 300009 Jigsaw Blade,steel,l 4 To 4-1/2In which I bought from one of the big box stores but you can find them online. Check out the blade has teeth on the backside to help make some tight turns.
have the same condition and really glad to eat and drink again
So glad to hear you've had success with surgery, too! Let's cross our fingers we have years and years of relief! :)
Love it!!!
lovely
Love this! I am scared of using a saw lol. So- wont be doing this project 🙄
came out amazing! what font did you use?
Lpvely. I realy want to try it.
You can do it!!
Don't know how I came to this video, but I'm glad that I did! * grabs tools and glasses*
Hi love how this turned out !! Are you able to share what kind of scroll blade you used . I am new to this and just purchased a jig saw . Thank you
Love it! :)
I have the same condition
Whaaaaat! Wow, another achalasia warrior! What stage are you and how are you feeling? Have you had surgery yet?
What thickness do you prefer? Is it better to use thicker wood as opposed to 1/4
Hi there, I liked the family lighted sign you made and I was inspired to make a "home" sign and my question is how narrow can I go for the thin lines?
You are using a RIDGID jigsaw. Do you recommend the RIDGID for this type of scroll work? I know you also use the Ryobi jigsaw as well. Which tool brand do you prefer for scroll work?
💜💜💜💜💜
So beautiful do you an actual link to the jigsaw nd the blade...plus wht kind of wood and size newbie here
Where did you get the stencil in the beginning?
What font name??
Would you mind sharing what kind of scroll blades you use/ where to find them?
Sure thing, Kala! I use these blades for my jigsaw when I need scroll blades (affiliate link): amzn.to/32kpS3y
How do you stop the wood from moving as you cut?
Hey what is that font name and where did you get it
Is there a specific scroll blade for Jig saw? The one I bought is really thin and I don't think it would fit in my Jig saw.
What scroll blade did you use?
Love the new project, quick question, are you in the Duluth clothing commercial?
Saw you in their catalog! So cute!
did you have to get a adapter for the jig saw?
What size printer do you have?
What scroll saw blade was used
What were the sticky tabs you used to hang it? What brand?
do you have a link for the scroll blade?
How did you print that off on one sheet?
What is the size/ inch of the sign?
Can a Dremel do this?
One of my coworkers has that same problem. Though she refuses to do anything about it and it’s not uncommon to hear her choking or vomiting after eating something wrong.
Yikes!! You HAVE to tell her about achalasia. It is a progressive condition and only gets worse. She might be able to get relief if she gets surgery. Have her read this blog post I wrote (getyourlifestraight.com/what-is-achalasia/) and give her my email address if she has any questions (serena@thriftdiving.com). Achalasia only affects about 1 in 100,000 people so many doctors aren't likely to even diagnosis it. Have her contact me!
What type of wood did you use? I've tried this with plywood, and it came apart in layers.
I used a good quality birch plywood!
@@ThriftDiving thank you so much. I will try some out next time. Great video 🙏
I want to add a saw to my tools now
You should! It's actually my favorite power tool. :)
SuperMom... 😁😁🇮🇩
Also what kind of wood are you using? Tia!
It's just left over plywood!
What kind of wood did u use?
It's just plywood, I believe 3/4" thickness.
👁👄👁💗💗💗💗💗
Love the hearts and pretty eyes! :)
what font is that?
I think it's one called Fabulous. I purchased it, but you can use the free one for non-commercial use. :)
And what about the noise at home?
Ha! Well, that noice won't go away until the kids leave for college....so...I just wear head phones all day. 💯
You need a Etsy shop
I believe that Jeffree Star has the same condition that you have. You might want to contact him and share your experience with him. He's really struggled with his condition! BTW, I have a rotary saw that is much easier to use than a jigsaw.
I just looked for his video! Looks like he has a different esophagus condition but it's very similar. His is caused when a type of white blood cell, the eosinophil, accumulates in the esophagus. My condition happens when the nerve cells of the esophagus die and that sphincter that lets food pass stops opening over time. Food will just sit there and can be regurgitated at night when you sleep (that used to happen to me). It causes chest pains, can cause vomiting, and general chest "full" feeling. But his symptoms sound just like achalasia. I think with my condition, we can do dilations like Jerffrey did. But with my condition, we can at least have surgery to cut open that tight sphincter and get some relief for longer periods. With his condition, it sounds like doing dilations are really the only therapy. Man, these conditions are horrible. I hope he is doing well today!
What size printer do you have??
