Sorry, half of what you are telling me or suggested to me sounds great.
Unfortunately, I just don't have the computer savvy or knowledge to do half of that stuff. But my granddaughter seems to know most of these programs and is coming over this weekend to help me out.

But this stuff is all Greek to me. It was my granddaughters idea to get the carvewright to help make my toy parts. I am one of those people that the only use of a computer is to get e-mail (90% junk) and serf the internet to find sports scores.

I will let you know how far we get and when we will need your generous help that you are offering.

Thank you all
Pete

Can't believe at 16 years old she can do most of this in school. So maybe we can learn together.
I love her to death even if she is a computer nerd lol.

Hi Pete,

You can learn how to do the designs yourself - we all started from where you are at one time or another. The tutorials at the CarveWright website are a good start.

In the meantime, you may consider hiring someone to create the patterns for you. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps there is someone here that would be interested in making a little extra money for Christmas (and beyond).

Hi Eddie, I like to use this WWW. page; www.toymakingplans.com

They have nice PDF Drawings that are easy and fast to convert into CW PTN Files.
