actually I stand corrected you cant use offset on text from what i can tell any other tips?

Hey @ian_mott426, The method described above and in other threads on the subject are still relevant and work. Extrude the text first, than create a sketch on the top surface of the sketch. Use the offset tool (you may be struggling to get the offsets - try moving the manipulator that pops up around!) and then do an extruded cut. This is a quick example that I put together that shows how you can achieve the effect you're looking for.
