Hi All, can anybody tell me where I can get hold of router templates? i.e.
flowers, hearts, animals etc.
thanks, Eddie.

I make my own usually out of hardboard. Unfortunately I don't have a
scroll saw (yet) so I use a jigsaw with a small blade. I have the
templates hanging all over my shop walls.

One way, is to create a drawing, either by tracing a print-out or
download.
If you want a big one, go to a local blue-print shop and have a blow up
made.
Glue the result onto 1/2" MDF with spray contact adhesive. Cut out your
desired path.
Voila!

*Cut out your desired path*..wtf?? Is this some kinda Zen thing? A
Buddhist thing?
Buddhist to hotdog vendor: "Make me one with everything."

But I digress.

I forgot to mention I am in Holland. they are a bit backward here concerning
woodworking except for making clogs!

Although you only need to draw an outline on thin ply and cut them out with
a needle router bit.

Some I draws, some I prints. It's 20+ miles to a place I could get
a biggun printed, so I draw big, or just zoom up on a Xerox machine,
trim, and glue down - works for me. Or, could make, or buy, a
pantograph - I've got a beeyootiful English one out of boxwood, but
never use it. I use thinned Titebond II for gluing, usually on 1/2"
plywood - ometimes modify them later and plywood works well for that.
Myself, I never buy templates, I've never seen a design yet I'd be happy
with, so I make my own - wreck one, make a replacement, quick, easy,
inexpensively - try that with a store-bought one. Plus, excepting time
involved, mine cost maybe $2 (U.S.) mex (almost 48" tall), from new
plywood, and depending on size. Most of 'em are probably in the
$.25-$.50 range, my chess pieces pennies each.

No prob. There are even people on here from California. They are
often a bit backward period.

A bit OT, but what do you mean,"a bit backwards here concerning
woodworking"? (I'm in Texas).

Eddie...dat was niet lief van jou omdat te zeggen. (Eddie, that wasn't
a loving thing to say)
I have seen spectacular woodwork done in Holland. Unless you don't
count boats and windmills.
Clogs are mostly CNC'd these days....for the tourists.
