I need to lay out a nautical star for a carved inlay on a bar. Sortof a Sailor Jerry type tattoo design. I'd just print the damn thing out mfself but my frickin' printer's out of juice.

Anyone know how to lay out a star?

is that four or five pointed....either case...draw a circle and divide 360 by the number of points....that should get you started.....I guess.

 

[Corndog]

5 point....nevermind. I found it.

I googled " drafting a five point star ". I'm such a dolt sometimes.:laughing:

Honestly, I would either wait until your have a printer up and running and save your self some hassle or if you have kids, then there is bounds to be something with a star on it that you can use. I have two kids and I would have no problem finding a star.

C'mon!!! I'm a luthier...what's a little math...pshh.:laughing:

P.S. No kids never. Don't care fer the screamin' lil' monsters.
And before I get hate mail.....would you want your kids growin' up in East Van?


Didn't think so.

I'm on to you dog. I'm gonna give all 5 of our kids your email. Expect hatemail. :2guns: :stuart:

On the star just go to the dallas cowboy website and hld up a pice of paper to your monitor and trace the thing. Who needs a printer eh?

 

[Corndog]

My monitor ain't that big...36" dia.

And I said no hate mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TexasTimbers]

After you trace something you can expand the scribe in any manner of ways brutha.
I was jokin about the hatemail. kids are so wrapped up in themselves they ain't got time to hate. Ain't that beautiful! :yes:

Does that help????

That gives you enough dimensions to be able to strike arc's to get all the points on the star.

 

[Corndog]

It does thanks!!!!!:thumbsup:
