This is not a new thing... a Kevin thing or a Dick thing .... it is however common to every scroller that has hit the "wouldn't it be great IF I had this by next sunday. After all it's only a small order of 50 it will take no time at all to do." This of course sets off our conditioned response- " What!! They gotta be kidding" hehe. Been there, done that, never wanted the tee-shirt. Something I make for these large orders though is a template. Yes, a template. Drop it down on the wood, trace around the perimeter and whala no more having to print patterns and putting them on or having to remove them. Use a #2 pencil though so that you can use denatured alcohol to remove the pencil marks left over from the cutting. Best thing about the template is that you do not have to print that pattern in order to set up to make the item. This is what I have and still do for the large church or group orders Those look good Dick. Bet they would sell like gang busters in Christian Bookstores. Thanks for sharing them with us.
