    hahaha i see, well still if you make it, you could sell it for some $$$ and just add a word SPECIAL to the price and ppl will buy it :P

    Yea, the snake would be a pain to weed at 14" max I have with my cutter, I have got to get me a 24". Only problem I am spoiled with my Graphtec Robo craft. This thing cuts so darn good. If you can see good enought to weed it, it will cut it.

    Glad you all liked it, Dragonduster inspired me so here's one with a snake. Nothing like non stop weeding. I have not cut this one so it may need some tweaking. I did some tweaking in SB and saved it as an EPS file but for some reason the file is now to large to post. 1768kb I don't know what happened to make it so large. That is ten times bigger than most of my EPS files.

    Awesome but bet it was fun weeding. Would look great sandblasted on a mirror. ;D

    That sounds like a good idea. I really did not have any plans for it, just wanted to do it

    because I liked the way it looked. The weeding was not that bad for one, I would not want to do

    10 of them without some good compensation.

    Looks awsome.... What is this parchment trick you are talking about? I am always wanting to learn new tricks.

    What order did you apply that guy in, color wise? Just trying to see the 15" pieces in my head and it isnt working, Very impressive.

    I installed the little guy in this order white, black, the blue, yellow and red did not matter. All were installed directly to the trailer one at a time dry. Using parchment paper. Mask the white and install, than mask the next layer and remove the silcone vinly paper backing and put a piece of parment paper over the white and install the black layer. The vinly will not stick to the parchment paper and you can see thru it to line up the following layers. Hope this make since, if not just ask and I will try to do better explaining it. I learned this somewhere on this board, I wish I could remember where so I could give proper credit. By the way parchment paper can be bought at the grocery store sold as cookie sheet paper.

    I did a 1/4 lap on the black and white because my cutter only cuts a little over 14" hardly noticeable even up close. I chose to overlap instead of a butt joint to allow for shrinkage, which I also learned on this site.
