Plaque #1

The picture above is of the first of two plaques I made that will be attached to the bench at Mayo's Landing. This one is to honor the assistant Scoutmasters of Troop 28 that recently passed away; Hermann Jaensch, Frank Ronci, Daniel O'Connor, and Pedro Laureiro. As you can see, the lettering is currently not very clear. I will fix that by applying yellow paint to the letters in order to make them more visible. To make the plaque, I had to measure each character, including spaces, on each line to fit this board. I then used a wood dremel to engrave the letters into the board. To protect this from damage I applied stain, followed by a thin coating of water seal that I also used to protect the wood of the bench. To attach this to the bench, I will use liquid nails and four wood screws. The next plaque will be to signify that Troop 28 and others supported the project. Then the project will be completely finished.
