3D Patterns

[Craft_E_Vet]

How can I make my own 3D patterns. I have searched on line but cant seem to find a site that shows how to do it.

I have some ideas, but I'm no pattern maker. I posted so I can follow.

There is a long thread about this subject here:

Have you gone to You Tube and look for 3D pattern instructions?

It's really pretty basic if I'm not wrong. Just draw a picture on one side and try to draw a side view at 90 degrees from the front view. If it's a round item similar to a chess pawn, it would be the same on both sides. The important thing is the placement of the center line where it joins to the block. It must be absolutely centered on the corner edge. There is a pretty good video on youtube done by the Gwinette Wood workers group. I'm not sure of the fellow's name but it's a German name like Hans or something like that. He goes into a lot of detail on how to cut the 3-D items. Not sure about pattern making though.

I looked up creating 3D patterns on you tube but all I found was how to cut them. 

I think I know who your talking about OCtoolguy he has some long videos.

copy a picture from the web that you like.   Size it to match one side of the square. 

grab another picture or make lettering and size it for the other side of the square wood. 

attach the prints to both sides of wood.

and drill a hole to cut the silholletes of the pictures. 

Here is another example with pictures on one side and letters on the other.

See I left a lot of wood so when she gets married I can add a name.  And add another instrument if she wants.
