Thanks Tom! I misread it, and thought it was showing how to make stick fonts. But I see now it is for stencil fonts - always nice to have more information and more choices to get the job done.

Rich does a great job with the LA HOBBY GUY website, but there is a MUCH faster, LESS TROUBLESOME way to stencil letters using LIGHTBURN.

DesignEdge is STILL much faster and easier, but you will never get Rich to admit that.
