How do we find out which files you are wanting, Carl? Is there someplace on your site that lists what you are needing?

I've got a boatload (and then some) of fin patterns drawn up in Adobe Illustrator, which I think CorelDraw! can import. I could easily send them along assuming they would work.

Carl,

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a simple chart could be worked up in Excel containing all of the patterns you're looking for, with a cell to indicate which patterns you have received, and which patterns you would like us to concentrate on more than others. As a pattern is finished (after you've cleaned them up, or after you've received them) place a check mark (or a big "X") in that cell. Then you can simply generate an HTML file of that chart as needed and post it on your website in the SVDT area...

Carl,

Just curious - any possibility of getting into laser-cut ply fins (something like 1/8" or 3/16") with the laser cutter?

I dont' mind cutting balsa at all, but ply is a pain in the rear...it could be a valuable service if getting the file imported was not time consuming - such as requiring a TIFF file (based on your earlier comments).

I don't know about others - but I would be much more likely to order a bunch of stuff if I knew that I was getting out of cutting plywood fins.

Thoughts?

thanks

The thickest hard ply we can cut without charring is 1/16". The 1/8" lite ply cuts well, but it is not good for fins.

Thanks again!

Eric,
I sent the first set, but have not had time for the second. It takes a while to get rid of all the extraneous info and just get the cut vector.
