Thank you for saving me some money for allowing me to divert template money to slab money! Al I had these when I was first starting out and had no extra funds for templates. It was a great resource. Then, another member who is gone now, was making those templates out of acrylic in his shop. Not free, but not too much. So, I had my templates turned into acrylic templates. I still use those probably more than any others. Enjoy. |

My brain doesn't always work as well as it used to do, so for those that get similarly blocked on the names of some of the shapes, here are a couple of cheat sheets. Doesn't include regular polygons like octagons and hexagons, but some of the common ones (I added some from the templates above, too, once I figured out how to trace them into the computer)... |

Cartouche- I always wondered what that was called. |

Just seeing this now, Tela. Thank you so much for putting this collection of shapes together! This is just the kind of thing that I am looking for. Now I need to find some thinner plastics to cut these from. I like the cutting board idea, but I am not sure how I would cut through something that thick, without a CNC Lathe.
R2D, also thank you of posting the names of the shapes. Now I won't feel so bad about trying to describe something as "that half-circle thing with a vertical slice going through the middle"...

A late thank you, rockjunquie ! I downloaded them and pasted 7 of the 9 into a Word file. I duplicated some of the templates in that file so that I could change the height or width of some for a total of 10 templates. |

Thanks rockjunquie & @rocks2dust I have converted those shapes to my Graphtec Vinyl Cutter type files and have printed. I have over 400 slabs/pieces that will be cabs or other jewelry or accessories. |

I'm saving this, I got the email version from Tony years ago and cut some of them out on a laser cutter, then lost access to the laser.
