    Did you use the 1/8 cutting bit or the 1/16?
    I will try to convert it myself for the reasons you mentioned.

    Really cool. That is a long way from the 2x4 we cut down in our youth.

    Yes indeed,

    Check this one out. I seems no one has the dxf files for any of this stuff……
    could be a market there……….

    I have mostly switched from TurboCad to Sketchup for my wood working designs. The free version - all I need for my designs - does not have a DXF export option. The pro version might, but it is quite pricy. If you download the free version, you get the pro version for (I think) 8 hours. Someone could download it a see. I am thinking that they my be using Sketchup for their designs.

    Just a note to everyone wanting these files; I used Designer 3 to make them so if you don't have 3 they won't work for you. I will try to convert to 1.187 later if I get the time.

It would be a travesty if some one used them to make money against his wishes. It would irk me to no end if I posted the mpc for this project and somebody placed them for sale on e-bay or elsewhere. However, with that being said, I would consider sending them via email to those who would PM me with their email and a solemn promise to not use the end product or the plans for profit. There are only 12 mpc's relating to pages 20-32 from the PDF assembly drawings you will need to download from the Youtube site. It wouldn't hurt to download the two instructional videos also. They certainly make it easier to assemble.
    I understand and agree with what you are saying. I am a mechanical designer and had some very important ideas stolen and sold ... however ... I LOVE THIS PROJECT. I would love to build it first for my grandson and next to sell the finished Rubberband guns. I was just getting started to lay it out in AutoCAD then Solidworks. I am not interested in selling the patterns. I would be most greatful if you shared the patterns with me. I have nothing to offer in exchange but my gratitude.

    Default Here's the assembled rifle...

    As promised. There is still a ton of finish work to do on each one, but at least they are assembled. One cut by hand and the other by CarveWright...
