This pattern book includes 18 different sign designs and five different fonts for the numbers. The one I cut in the picture is a patriotic design. The one in the picture is 16" long. It should be plenty big enough to see from the street.
I know many of you have trouble dimensioning lumber so I designed this pattern to use off the shelf lumber from Home Depot. The board is a 1/2" X 6" X 4' Poplar. The actual dimensions of the board is 5 1/2" wide so the sign is designed to be that height. This pre-cut board is around $5 and will make on sign.
I think you will be able to cut a 3 number sign on a 16" saw but 4 numbers will be tight. You may have to move to a spiral blade for larger signs.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
