Do this ,, get some hvy.paper and make the pattern just the way you see it on the post, then take a pencil and use it like a router bit ..stay in the center of the pattern just like you are using a 5/8" brass guide and the router with a 1/8" bit in place....besure to use the main template ,it's needed to make the pattern right... that's the outside one..


I'm sure you will see the error of my way of making this template...that's why I gave and used the spacer blocks in the other post...


And it's fun to do this way (paper) and with some luck you can beat Tom with the right pattern that he will poat in a day or two...


Good Luck, I'm looking forward to what you come up with..


=============
I just looked at post #156 & saw what I thought was a nice design in every corner by just following your template (without any crisscrossings)...

I didn't realize that the design was made more complex... IMHO, I like the design I saw w/o the crossings... better.

Thank you for your more detailed post showing the finished product.

Joe, you are very close to what I'm thinking of but, the template needs some changes made to it.

Tom, I will need to get in touch with Bj in order to make the drawing(s). Yes, when drawing up plans, I use lots of paper, LOTS!! I do have paint pro studio installed on 'puter, so if I get any spare time, I'll try to draw it up with that. I most likely won't be able to get to this til this weekend. (Does look like I get a 2 day weekend). So I ask please be patient with me if I don't respond too quickly.

Bj, as above, I will most likely be pm'in ya this weekend with help for the drawing. Perhaps again, I'm not seeing it clearly but, I hope I can show what I'm, how I'm looking at it. I may be wrong, I dunno.

I'm feeling like that guy in the old dunken donut commercial, where he meets himself at the door....

Hi Ken

That sounds great,, but save some time and download and install
Paint.Net
It will let you make the drawing up quick and easy and it's a free program.
