Tag maker
A pet tag, a keyring, a gift label and a door sign are the same object: a blank, some words inside it, and a hole. So the blank is a setting, not a tool of its own. Fifteen of them, or a shape you drew.
Pick the blank. Some carry their own detail, like the pads of a paw, which are scored onto the face rather than cut, and some say where words are allowed: on a paw that is the big pad, not the toes.
The hanging hole is set INTO the tag, not welded on top of it. It walks down the middle until the wood you asked for fits all the way round, so a star or a heart gets its hole under the point instead of through it.
Each line of words is fitted to how wide the blank is where it sits, kept clear of the hole, and held within a set multiple of the smallest line so it reads as one name and not a ransom note.

A stencil font needs no bars when the words are cut right through.

Share of the letter height. Negative closes them up.
Space between one line and the next (mm)

How wide the tag is (mm)
How tall the tag is (mm)

Mark a line just inside the edge
How far in the marked line sits (mm)
Drill the hole it hangs by
Hole across (mm). Big enough for the split ring or the ribbon.
