RiverCity Report post Posted September 10, 2013 I had a great experience with Joyce from BRL. Ordered several custom templates, she was able to take CAD files so the parts are 100% accurate. Good pricing, and fast turn around! If anyone is in need of acrylic templates and does not know about Black River Laser, they are excellent! Thanks again Joyce Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted September 10, 2013 I have bought several of their templates and Joyce has made one custom template for me. I have a couple more I am going to see about having her make. The customer service and communications are excellent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleLeather Report post Posted September 10, 2013 I have been meaning to get ahold of them since hearing of them on here. For simple templates they should be able to work with a scale accurate 2D image from Photoshop I would assume? Templates ARE essentially 2D anyway since the thickness of the plastic (usually) wouldn't matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Joyce seems to know what she is doing, she has made templates for me from penciled drawings that I have scanned and emailed her. They turned out exactly as I wanted them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleLeather Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Yes, she will ask you to put a couple of dimensions on it to verify scale. Chuck Awesome. I figured as much. I have done a lot of graphic design work in Photoshop, so I'm very comfortable with that. I also like the fact that you can do truly precise measurements in the digital medium to get things EXACTLY correct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brodenny Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I have several templates as well. I have to say that her customer service is superb. I didn't realize that she could custom make templates. I have been looking for a source for that. Thanks for the info!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
