    wilkommen! I had a look at the link you posted and in all probabilty those signs were done on a CNC router. (Computerised machine worth tens of thousands of Euros) You could do pretty much most of the lettering with a router and some templates. If you really want to do it by hand there will be some people hereabouts that can help you with those techniques and tools. Me, I tend to avoid things I can't automate or at least get a machine to do most of.

    welcome aljonama ch hatte einen Blick an der Verbindung, die Sie bekanntgaben und in allem probabilty waren jene Zeichen auf einem CNC Fräser erfolgt. (automatisierte Maschine wert 10 Tausenden Euro) konnten Sie viel der Beschriftung mit einem Fräser und einigen Schablonen recht am meisten tun. Wenn Sie wirklich sie eigenhändig tun möchten, gibt es einige Leute in der Umgebung, die Ihnen mit jenen Techniken und Werkzeugen helfen können. Ich, neige ich, Sachen zu vermeiden, die ich nicht eine Maschine automatisieren oder mindestens erhalten kann, um die meisten von zu tun
