Print 3 photos, draw roughly around what you want each layer to be, cut out what you don't want from each layer. Glue up your backers before cutting. I don't envy you on this project. I'd cut a rabbit with a stake and stick it in a potted plant.

Ahhhh, I see it now, it's a device that aids in the castration of bulls.

It's a land shark proof, freefall skydiving helmet with recessed camera mounts.

If they do have a license they are legal and have nothing to worry about. If they don't have one they are breaking the law. There is nothing grey about it, the laws are readily available on line to educate yourself. You can keep your eyes closed because you've gotten away with it for 35 years and maybe will till you give it up. Or maybe you cry the blues after your next show. Hopefully I enlightened at least 1 person here, but I am done with this thread.

Nothing Grey about it. Military logos are Trademarked and you need a license to sell the ones that they allow. https://dod.defense.gov/Portals/1/Documents/Trademarks/DOD Guide about use of seals logos insignia medals-16 Oct 15F.PDF

Many of Disney's characters are trademarked. If Disney fails to go after unauthorized use of a registered trademark they can lose the mark thereby losing big money that then hurts things like this https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/philanthropy/ As I said the liability doesn't go away. Lowering cost or giving a child a toy is way different than sending out a team of artists to paint some walls. Just because a toy has the label does not mean the maker can't be sued.
-
You skipped over my main point being liability. Disney is an entertainment company not a contracting firm. Walt died in 1966, we live in a sue happy world now. Companies with huge assets have enough lawsuits going without going out of their way to add more. Look at UPS. You will never see anyone running around town with an old UPS truck. Why? They crush every retired truck to avoid the liability they would incur if they sold them. Good on Grizzly for hooking up a vet. No doubt there was legaleze signing for the vet to accept the offer. Lowering costs or giving a child a toy is a totally different scenario until, God forbid, the child chokes on / gets injured by the toy or part there of. Liability doesn't go away because you made less on or gave away your product.
-
Think about the liability Disney would have had if they took on that project. Everything from are the walls sound, lead abatement if present, contractor licensing, insurance, blah blah blah. Now lets figure cost of transportation, food & lodging for the team. If you do it there will be hundreds if not thousands of day care centers, schools and others trying to get you to do the same for them. And the executive decision is... drum roll please... Sorry you have to repaint your walls.

With cars being stolen out in the parking lot, why go after the little shoplifter inside. Why go after the guy selling dime bags at the high school when you can get the guy dealing ounces at the nightclub...

And hefty fines can be levied for infringement of either one. Attorney fees alone should be enough to discourage someone from trying. You can make 1 of anything that is legal to own for your own personal use. Anything that gets put in a tangible format gets an automatic copyright. https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html#mywork The bottom line is if you steal someones intellectual property and sell it or a derivative of it, you are a criminal. Disclaimer- I am not an attorney, I don't even play one on the internet. I do have time invested researching the subject.

HD protects their lifestyle like no other company. Ford protects the likeness of the mustang. Ya'll cutting Elvis, watch out for Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. There are businesses that contract with companies such as Dewalt and issue fines on their behalf for unauthorized use of their logo. Sharing a pattern can get you the same troubles. Works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. It is not ok to reproduce logos without purchasing the proper license/obtaining written permission, this includes military logos. The list goes on, the brave keep doing it and then complain when they get caught.

Every font is scrollable, just add bridges. I print out what I need and pencil in the bridges. If it's a font you want to use frequently you can spend a little time in inkscape and modify it and save it.

I ordered from the Helmut section on 12/11 and have no had response.

So history will repeat? Pick up hand set, put finger in correct holes and turn, listen to ring ring and finally hear Joe's Lumber how can I help you? "Sir, I need some 3mm BB ply.. get me 3 sheets.. express delivery please " and the next day plywood is at your door.

What you want is Baltic Birch ply. Their "birch" panels most likely only have a thin veneer of birch. They do show 1/2" Baltic ply.

Ya need to slow down n sniff da roses, young feller. It's ok to say no, it's ok to say it will be a couple of weeks. Nice work as usual. Heal well.

I know you weren't disparaging a saw. I look at new saws more than I'l admit. With a half dozen saws being built in the same factory, on the same platform and having problems I just can't part with the $$$. If I get a new saw can I raise my prices to recoup the investment, no. Will it save me time, yes. I can buy quite a few used Craftsman saws that will do the job for the cost of a new Delta. I think if I had the disposable income I once had, there wood be a shiny new saw in my shop but it wouldn't be made in Taiwan/China.
