A friend dropped off a drawer from an antique sewing machine cabinet that had four drawers with ornate pulls that had broken over the years. None were good enough to be scanned. I went on line and found the cabinet on ebay and enlarged the picture of the drawer pulls 80425

I tried to clean it up in designer but it was too grainey. My wife did an acetate pen and ink:80426My colleague on the forum (Alan the pattern maker) converted this pen and ink ( along with the picture) to turn it into a 3D mpc file and sent it back. Here is the final mpc which carved beautifully. Anyone is welcome to use it: 80427
