garypl Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Interesting projects, but how do you get a template from the computer picture shown on the screen? Do you click a button and have the computer spit out a flat template of what is on the screen so you can cut it out? Too high tech for me! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Hi Gary, not sure if you got my last feedback about your question, because I don't see it here now, but i will repeat, the procedure to convert the computer screen sketch you see above from 3D to 2D is indeed a very long and complex procedure, but for me as a certified solideworks expert (passed the expert exam) i had to go through all the steps and come up with the 2D template. I would say drafting it from ground zero using solidworks takes alot of skills and math but i had to post the computer pic above to display the public how do i do it. its nice to see other share what they have and exchange data. cheers, A.J Edited June 7, 2018 by AJ2018 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2018 Report post Posted June 7, 2018 does anyone know where can i get the best grommets setter tool for 5mm grommet, reason i am planing to use grommet over eyelets is because eyelets might leave scar on the buttstock as they don't come out clean after pressing them in, but instead i found grommets are safer to use. i am looking to get a clean fully round grommets after pressing it so it wont leave a scar on the stock when pulling the lace through. thanks for your input everyone. cheers, A.J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted June 7, 2018 Like I said - too much computer involved in these projects for me! I think any grommet setting tool will work for you. Check the craft stores near you or look online - should not have any problem finding a reasonably priced setter. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ2018 Report post Posted June 8, 2018 Does anyone know why faded dye marks are left around my design ? , I knifed the design then I dyed it with alcohol based dye and when it dried out it showed the faded marks around the design, It looks like an offset marks from the design , did this happen to anyone before ? What causes it so I can fix the problem in later projects . Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notice the ring marks left around the design. What is causing that ? Can it be fixed or should I cut a new piece. cheers, A.J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2018 Report post Posted June 18, 2018 some more pictures , still have to stitch the pad that is why i still have stitches on the holes. this cover has a different beautiful color finish as you see. but the color mix ratio is hard to get without having paint experience. what do you think guys, lets see what you got and lets learn from each others. cheers, A.J2018 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
