@BraeJager TX so you are good at making stencils?

2017-07-29 02:02:25 UTC  

im not good at that sort of stuff

2017-07-29 02:02:27 UTC  

Well, I have only done it once, and it turned out great. So that's 100%

2017-07-29 02:02:37 UTC  

Just take your time.

2017-07-29 02:03:19 UTC  

I cut the VA logo in half, and printed it on two pages. Then I trimmed margins and taped it together. Then, I traced it onto the stencil blank. Then, slowly cut with exacto knife and the little cutting pad.

2017-07-29 02:03:34 UTC  

I cheated on some lines so as to not make sections to thin, and I cheated on some of the really fine details.

2017-07-29 02:03:44 UTC  

what did you use, posterboard?

2017-07-29 02:04:08 UTC  

Nope. Hobby Lobby sells stencil blanks. It's like $8 or so for 3 of them, roughly 12X18"

2017-07-29 02:04:20 UTC  

are they thicker?

2017-07-29 02:04:26 UTC  

They are plastic backed, and partially translucent for easy tracing

2017-07-29 02:04:26 UTC  

not familiar with stencil blanks

2017-07-29 02:04:29 UTC  

nice

2017-07-29 02:04:40 UTC  

They aren't very thick, but they are tough because of the plastic backing

2017-07-29 02:04:48 UTC  

im really bad at that type of shit, but if i have time having one or two would help me a lot

2017-07-29 02:05:10 UTC

2017-07-29 02:05:13 UTC

2017-07-29 02:06:42 UTC  

i think just having ONE of those, the official logo would be good

2017-07-29 02:06:46 UTC  

don't do all the detail on the eagle's head. Just pop a line across.
