Dad's BBQ Area

This took quite a while to engrave, understandably, but has ended up stunning.

The Fonts and icons match up, with two holes which are going to be used for cord to hang in the said area, but they could just as easily be used for hooks.

Interestingly, I cut this on varnished wood, and then a light sanding afterwards created the lovely lighter wood edging effect on the border.

Anyway, the SVG is below!

Thanks for the design. I see a quick little alteration for one of my friends and he’ll get a cool sign!

(Pop’s instead of Dad’s)

Which font is that?

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you.

Very nice, thanks for the share!

Looks great!

Nice. I’d add the line
“In that order” at the bottom. Lol

Appears to be a variant of the ‘tavern’ fonts.

This is excellent!

Thanks for the link!

No problem. I use the ‘What the Font’ app ALL THE TIME to help me identify them!

hansepe · July 21, 2022, 5:21pm

Thanks for the font name!

I figured if you knew it would be a better match than me using Adobe or one of the several online references to try identify it. I have lost font names because of my workflow converting things to objects in Adobe Illustrator before

mr.lockyer · July 21, 2022, 5:28pm

Ah, the terrifying ‘Convert to outlines’ hell. I now double any artboard just in case. RELATED: I’d love a good font manager for my Mac, so I can see at a glance the range I’ve built up, with the c**p removed. I instead have a sheath of papers I constantly refer to!

Font Book is built-in.

I use it all the time.

hansepe · July 21, 2022, 5:36pm

Yes! Exactly this. I know better but I keep doing it to myself all the time because “I’ll never need to modify this file again” or something along those lines going on in my head

djfb · July 21, 2022, 6:38pm

Nicely done!

mr.lockyer · July 21, 2022, 7:51pm

Hmm. I should play some more with it. Thank you!

ellencadwell · July 21, 2022, 9:44pm

I’ve tried the What the Font site and never have any luck with it. I must be doing something wrong.

eflyguy · July 21, 2022, 9:52pm

I’d guess you are. I loaded the first photo (not the clean design image) up and it identified dozens of fonts that match, most with the name “tavern” in them.

Save the pic, upload to the site, and click next.
