A Request and plea for help!

[GrayBeard]

I am a 'cutter' not a pattern maker so I am enlisting your help.

My daughter wants me to make a scrapbook cover for my grandson's graduation and include the school 'mascot'.

I've attached a '.gif' file of the "Charger Stallion". Finished size will need to be about 3" high.

Any assistance will be greatly and sincerely appreciated.

I really hate to say things like this, but those patterns will not work. They are full of floaters and they need alot of bridges added.

Im sorry but I would hate to see someone go to the trouble of printing this up and glueing to wood and find out the hard way.

The patterns are nicely made and very cool, just need some work,

Gary

Thank you 'Kokopelli' for your efforts in my behalf.
The pattern will be cut out of a scrapbook cover of plywood and I think I will do the 'outline' of the stallion, which the school also uses, and just individually cut the letters as shown. Then a backer will be added of deep red in the school color.

I appreciate your help!!!

That looks like it will work just right. Will make the cuts wide enough to allow the red backing to show thru!

Thanks You GREATLY!!!

Nice job Joleet but the middle of the horse that looks like a triangle is a floater.  Graybeard, I would put a bridge in each of the three corners...that should hold it together and will still look nice with your background color.

Nice Catch, Sue!

Good advice and a Thank You for the catch!

You're welcome....would like to see a picture of the scrapbook cover when you're done.....I saw one using a piano hinge and it looked really nice.

Sue...Sure glad you caught the floater....guess I better uncross my eyes, thought I had 'em all, Thanks.

That's why we are such a great group!
We're here to enjoy our hobby but most importantly we are friendly folks who are here to help each other.
In my two short years of "scrolling" I have not met a single scroller either in person or online that was not interested in being helpful and passing on tips and knowledge of the craft!

Thank You All!

Well I got it cut and the clear finish is drying out in the sun. Will take pics tomorrow when it is finished!

Looks pretty good to me.
