mdf templates

[Karl Card]

Wow talk about team players....

As others have said things about copyrights and patents, I do agree with being original. No problem on that part.

I wished I could somehow help but I know nothing about cnc, I cant use a cad program, but I did use to play around with mechanical drawing.
It is odd I took mechanical drawing in my senior year in high school as an easy way out... I was so mad at myself for not taking it my junior year and then taking advanced in my senior year.
My senior year we had to draw the blue prints to our dream house. Mine was a round house, 3 story with a drive in basement. swimming pool that covered 1/4 of the house and was curved to go along with the house. I also had a glass elevator in the center of the house. Back in TN at that time it was estimated at 1.5million dollars to build that house, that was in 1981.

What would be easier for the cnc users cutting these out, a 1/2 template vs. a single template for each tray?

As far as sizing goes I would like to have a finished tray be 23x15 for oval and that is going to be inside diamater.

Round trays 16 inch diamater on the inside.

That way I can do some artwork/woodwork on the outside as i desire.

I want to learn as I may not be able to help much yet. Would love to participate. Also, would this be only our originals or other files that are open source that we come across that would be useful?

here is a quick drawing that I did of the templates.

i "Bing" or google'd platters

there is no shortage of ideas!!

i have one i did some time ago with the eagle

and i toolpathed jerrys to show the cut

if i were to use the template with a hand held router with say a 1/2
' balitc birch ply then tads may be a good idea

pic #3 is what I am looking for and then having the ability to make it deeper, using different router bits for different edges, and then also playing with handles on the ends etc... nice sets for sure..

[Gerry Grzadzinski]

Karl, I just got an Eagle America catalog, and they have some similar templates in there. But, theirs are made from 3/8" acrylic, and sell for $23 each.
