My son has been asking for a lemonade stand for a while now and with the set up of my MPCNC, I figured this would be a good opportunity to add some flair that I could not do before having a CNC.
One of the parts that I am really happy with is the Lemonade sign on the front. That is my son’s handwriting that I used for the font.
I had him write the letters out on a sheet of paper and then converted the pictures to svg. In Inkscape, I picked the best letters suited for carving and lined them up.
The left “e” and “d” needed a bit of adjustment due to how thin they were but otherwise it came out really well.
I know that pine is not the best for carving but one goal for this project was to use up scrap wood that I already had in my shop. The only things purchased for this project were the hinges and paint.
I found some generic lemons to carve for the sides and since I am not a great painter, my wonderful wife took on that task and really made the designs pop.
I designed the stand to fold up for compact storage.
My son was very happy with how it turned out.
