Cole,
The spirit of Gingery is to be innovative. If you were to buy finished
patterns, that would be OK but not very innovative. But designing them on
the PC and doing a 3D print is wonderful. Gingery would most definitely be
proud!
We look forward to reading about your progress and seeing both your
successes and failures. We all learn from failures.
Too bad you can't print with molten aluminum :-)
Rick

Ok I hear what you guys are saying, and I've made a couple of patterns for
sure, but I don't find it to be the best part at all. I just have done too
much carpentry over the years and I dont like it.
Eventually I'll be making the patterns with a 3D printer... design on PC,
hit print, mount to match plate, and boom! Beauty like, even if I have to
redraw all the gingery parts (which I know people have done before) and get
them commercially printed then that's what I'll do... I understand you guys
thinking it's important to do the carpentry... but I don't. I'm young and I
want to integrate technology. Anyway, I guess I'll just do up the pieces in
sketchup and get them printed
