Lithopane Templates

[cjones]

I created a couple templates and carved them out yesterday. They are for the Candlestone Gifts items. I originally planned on using my 3/8 straight bit bit found it still have the QC chuck from my first machine. I switch everything over to the 3/16 cutting bit and missed changing the outside rectangle to 3/16 so the template ended up a little large. I have made some changes but wanted to know if someone could verify the inset is correct for both of the templates so as I can get a perfect fit of the blanks.

I have also attached my first lithopane carve. As you can see, it is a tad high on the plate leaving more space at the bottom than at the top.
Thanks,

Chris

They both look too wide. (To check, draw and center rectangles of the desired size.)

Thanks. I had the rectangle size correct, I just had my pocket cuts to wide removing extra from the sides.

I will give them another try and see how the come out.
