Now that Adrian has received his package of templates, I will post a short story and pics of our project together. Adrian had posted some template drawings awhile back and was kind enough to send me a copy of his file. We started communicating back and fourth and I would add a few template ideas I liked, and he would add his. After about 2 weeks we had a plan and Adrian sent me a final drawing. I sent these drawings to a place in Beaver Creek Oregon, (bclaserworks.com) and had them laser cut, returning a set to Adrian. We had 2 sets of templates made in 6 sizes each for a small cost of $25 each set. I ordered 2 extra sets if anyone would like them. I've had lots of fun on this project with Adrian and have met a new friend. I bet we'll do some more again sometime!

I would LOVE a set of these. I've been looking like crazy for a set, but just wasn't happy with the selection of shapes I saw. These look great!

Now that's a terrific idea - just shrink the output size for an exact duplicate (but smaller) set.

This action was great, Steve! I've got them today. When I saw the envelope I knew exactly what's inside: And these are the shapes: Some of them are my design, some of them are Steve's. So these are intercontinental templates! in order to fit for any dimension, from broach or large pendant to ring, we made six sizes: As you see, the fillings were delivered together with the template sheets. First I didn't find a use for them, but then when I started drawing on some slabs I found them useful: some slabs have on one side a border (usually where the cutting is finished) and this border keeps away the template to stick to the slab. Then it's better to use the filling. Thanks again Steve, it was a pleasure to collaborate with you and now when I can see the results it's even better! Thank you all for looking, Adrian

Deb got the last set................................ I am willing, if others are intersted, to have more sets of these templates made for RTH members. If anyone would like, you can go to bclaserworks.com, e-mail Phil, and I think they will burn a set for you. I was quoted about $27 each, for two sets, ended up getting 4 for $100. You would want to mention my name: Steve Schaeffer so he knows what your talking about.
Let me know if I can help........... Steve
Big thanks again to Adrian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to have a set of these templates as well. Do you recommend calling the dealer?

Thanks for the link. I've been thinking about getting my cab templates cut into plastic but haven't found a place yet. Of course Adrian stole his idea for drawing out cab templates in AutoCAD from me so do I get a free set. LOL Just kidding. They look great!
