I feel so bad, being so needy these days. I tried to make the pattern, but I must be off! Well I never was on! Anyway my youngest son birthday was yesterday and he wants a Lincoln bank without Lincoln!

He really likes Peter Griffin and he wants a coin with the profile or head shot of Peter Griffin. Then I was going to base the wording from Petoria his country he made up. For those who do not watch Family Guy! I know it is terrible, but no worst then most shows!

Anyway any help will be appreciated! Otherwise I do have one and will continue to try to make a decent ptn!

Thanks Ken yes that is close and similar to the one I made. Still not quite what I am looking for, but I do appreciate your help as always! I still kept your mpc it does have the look of an old coin!

Doug, I like that one! Do you have just the ptn? I am going to replace Lincoln head with Peter's! I really like that profile, but the box won't work for the coin. Could you possibly post the j-peg? Thank you for the help!

I think this was the final version I used.... If not, you'll let me know, I'm sure... :)

Doug, thank you I really do appreciate your help! I hope I didn't offend you or sound demanding? I tried the mpc and with the box and carve region it will not show the whole head on the coin. So that is why I asked for a ptn. or the j-peg to try running it myself.

Like I said I hate being needy and I guess I am just stressed and every time I try making a pattern I get more stressed! The j-peg works great thank you!

Oh, my, no. You didn't offend me! I was trying to be a smart ***, but my smiley face didn't come through right. Stuff happens... sigh.

I enjoy helping out when I can. Actually, I used that one to learn a few more things about Artcam. I'm starting to love this program! Ask away if you need something else. Most likely, I'll use it as another learning opportunity!

Really glad that worked out for you!

BJ if only I will learn how you do it?! I use Corel Draw to Paint and still can't get my patterns to come out like yours! I love the patterns, but need a head shot to replace Lincoln's head with Peters! Then quoting his Petoria creed E. Peterbus Unum! And on the bottom Can't Touch Me!

Oh good Doug I really appreciate your help and like your ptn it is more 3D, but I am not sure how detail it will carve? I will run a test piece before the real run. I bought an 1" by 12" by 8' of select pine and I could not believe the cost of one board! $3.63 a board foot, I paid $3.26 a board foot for red oak and could have bought a 14" wide piece!

First I need to clean and replace the brass roller O-ring with the correct size. Plus adjust the head pressure on my newer CW and the other replace a connection board for the Ffc cable!

Not today though I have grandson and grandma and I are giving mommy and daddy a break for a couple days! We are having a blast! Except grandma needs to be grandma and not a mommy! Grandpa lets his little man have what he wants!!!
