yet each has a slight variance The Skip Frey lines will look diffrent then those of Mike Hynsen. Study the lines of the masters look how they flow. This way you will have some knowledge of the basic idea of getting lines to blend and flow. Blending Curves is a good place to start use the line they ofer and make your own curves from those basic shapes Do a few by hand first before yo go to the computer. I Have done that but always use it asa starting point and blend in my own lines. Stealing or Borrowing a templet from a Board is something that a lot of shapers do But most will never admit to it. You can make ajustments on the outline as needed by hand or by reseting the nails Mark out nose tail mid point and wide point on the masonite now hamer in some nails at those points Takea flexable board that you then bend around those nails and scrib the line. MikeĪnother time honored way to get a templet is to use bender board. This piece of advice is something I picked up from Bill T. Gentlemen, were going to build some good board's!!! -JIMĪctually, I probably said something to the effect that if the CURVES don't match up perfectly with your navigation marks, don't worry about it. But Bill's sounds Classic ! I'll try it, and also try the cad to make a few more templates. but somtimes you just fit the lines away from the dims if need be. I been using a flexible yard stick to connect the lines to dims. jlnp on AKUs site and will work in a Java7 runtime enviornment. With the 8' board im working on with a friend we designed it on masonite.ĪKU shaper version 1.x.x is labeled as a. Hand designing boards is the best way to start. I like to design in AKU and dial things in. If you want to deign boards in AKU you need to buy the monthly service, OR get the pre version 2.x.x I should be able to put something together here soon. Well, I'll pick up the paper, I found sum card board. Or, to tape together cheap poster board, and draw the template.and tape down to board. I was thinking of a similar idea a mos ago. That sounds good! I do like the masonite as it cuts easy w jigsaw. You almost can't screw it up unless you pick an ugly curve in the design stage. The remaining spray adhesive on the core side of the template is enough to adhere to the blank so once you lay that down it's not going to wander on you. Unfold it to get the full-size sy metrical template. Reinforce the outside template line with masking tape and cut it out with a pair of scissors - done. From there, spritz the side you're tacking the template pages to and lay them down using the crease for your centerline. That's the 2-sided equivalent of the masonite blank we'd use for a permanent template. Instead, I take a length of 30" or 36" wide construction paper that comes in the rolls, fold it in half lengthwise (evenly) and lightly spritz the inside of the fold with some spray adhesive to tack both halves together. I don't think are very cheapnice sample pic of rounded pin! Is that off board cad?įor 1-time use templates I skip the masonite altogether, which is to say I haven't done a masonite template in 2 or 3 years. I don't think are very cheapwell, I got a lap top ! It's dated, but runs "Windows Vista." I'm thinking it might work? Thanks for the info. What about shaping machines, are they costly? The point of the forum is to help each other. Trying to get back into it.again, I just need a few templates. My apologies Folk's I just been puter illiterate for a few yrs. This message have a pic of a template attached. Like Jamie said, the paper comes out of ur printer with gridlines and numerated, so u just have to glue them together. After the design part boardcad u have two oportunities: save it as a brd file(for future modifications) or print it as a pdf file. I think it's a waste of money buying Aku, coz u can habe boardcad for free. I saw aku shaper has a 'backyarder' fee of $7.00, but what do I get access to? Can I design a few plan shapes to save to my hard drive? And how to print my designs? After u have this two installed, download the jnpl file and execute it. If can also install boardcad on a mac os x.Įasy, on windows ur supose to have the latest java and also java 3d. Without a computer it'll be kinda difficult (i say impossible) to install boardcad on ur handwriting machine. U can also draw ur template by hand hahahaha or u can download Boardcad from here Īlso, would I need a computer to use board cad, aku shaper etc. Is this software downloadable at a public library? I mean, do I have to download any programs to draw me a template?
