Piggy Bank Initial with Name
Tara
Create this piggy bank by updating the initial and name. You can adjust the position and size of the name as well.
You have the option of cutting this with or without a base.
If you select no base, it automatically makes it an 8 layer sign (excluding the name). I do not recommend going any thinner than this as it may not stand on its own very well. On the contrary, you can absolutely increase the number of middle layers to make it a thicker piggy bank to fit more $.
If you select cut with a base, it automatically makes it a 7 layer sign (excluding the name) you can further decrease it to 6 layers by changing number of middle layers to 2. However I would not go any less than that, because then you will not be able to fit much change in it.
These suggestions are all based on using 0.2" material. If cutting with thicker or thinner material, adjust accordingly. If cutting with a base, the slot is offset backwards on the base so that the piggybank remains centered on the base when assembled.
You also have the option to cut a small circle on the backer for use with a piggy bank plug. (I.E. https://amzn.to/4rhpU2B ) Adjust hole size according to the plug your purchase, however do not go larger than 1.5" diameter circle.

See Kerf Tester below if using the base.
PLEASE NOTE: It is VERY important that you get a flush/flat alignment on the bottom during glue up. If the bottom is not flush, it will not stand well.
