    Spotted a couple of spikes and a 3-point the last afternoon of season, but they were not trophys, so we'll see if they get bigger next year. Caught a monster rainbow trout on Sunday though. Biggest fish I have caught in years.

    I lived 18 wonderful months hunting and fishing south of you in/around Klamath Falls, Or.   How about 25" brown (in the lake) and lots of 15"+ rainbow & browns in streams & rivers.   Did get one reasonable blacktail.  But, things have probably changed sine 1967/68 when I was there.   Gulf of Mexico fishing here just doesn't compare to fly or spinning rod fishing in a beautiful clear high mountain stream.   And, I've done a lot of both.

    Does anyone have experience with iclipart.com?  My daughter found one image there that she likes and I "wonder" if their .eps file are of good quality for cutting.  Subscription is $29/year which is ok if I end up with 10+ quality images. 

    Experience/Opinions please.

    Thank you,

    If the text is very small, I would weld/punch in the circle and then layer over your letter color.  For very small letters, it is much easier to weed the letters as opposed to leaving the letters.

    John,

    If I was closer, I'd teach you how to properly re-hair a bow.

    I restored violins and bows for several years.  I still have  a dozen or so "old" bows to put on ebay and 2 to go to Tarisio auction in NYC.  I think I'll let daughter give some quality instruments to deserving children when I'm gone (hope not toooo soon though).    I play terrible but, with some instruments it seems like they sing by themselves.

    Unless you know them VERY well, I would be caucious of using someone elses vinyl.  What is the cost to you if  10' of his vinyl gets messed up in your shop?  Doesn't matter why (old, or machine fluke, or misspelled, or.....).  I used to engrave and the 1st time I messed up engraving someone elses spoon, I had to replace it retail.  Lesson learned.

    At least you can do the text banner directly in SBE.

    When you say "jumbled", is it just on the workspace or actually cuts extra lines in the vinyl?  If just in workspace, you may just have a video problem.  I would create a small simple graphic in X-3, import into SBE and cut it (reguardless of what the workspace looks like.  That may help you diagnose.

    Plase let us know.

    You do need to buy software for each pc....except perhaps SBE.  The trial version does everything I want it to and there is no company to sell the pro/full version at this time.

    I'm real pleased with XP but, of everthing I've read, if you stay away from usb ports, XP or vista works fine.

    I have XP laptop(travel) and workstation.  Workstation connected serial to cutter.  Use serial or parallel connect and not usb (too many usb headaches).  I have Corel, Inkscape, and SBE on both.  Great combination I think.

    I'm having trouble smoothly applying Oracal 810 paint mask on curved surfaces (e.g. fender or helmet).  With apptape, it tends to just wrinkle in the curves.  Without apptape any cut designs are very easily distorted (streeched or pulled out of shape).  I've tried wet and dry.  What am I missing??  With apptape, it is just as likely to distort/streech while removing the tape. 

    811 works great but only on flat surfaces.

    Appreciate any tips or techniques.
