Star Pattern Template

[RcBro]

I'm lazy and tired lol So I was curious to see if anyone made a printable start template so I can just trace it onto my foams and cut it out.

if so can I have a copy please lol

hopefully i don't get shot for this post

Yes there is a drawing within the forum. A few presses of your puter keys and I am sure you will find it

[FrankyRizzo]

LUCKY! didn't find the pattern but I did find an easy explanation.

[funkranger]

I did the search thing last night like everyone is suggesting newbies do. After 40 minutes I gave up, tried to help you out dude. Goodluck, maybe someone will show us how its done.

Did you not read what Jizzo said? He said he was going to post pics on how to do it.

I wouldn't be supprised if the reason you didn't find anything last night was because you don't read.

I measure 1 inch increments around the foam.

Then draw a line across the face of the foam.

Use a new (sharp) utility knive to cut a V shape between the lines and work your way around the tire.

jolly good show dez.
its amazing how hard it can be to cut v-notches out, especially with out a pic to see what a v-notch looks like.

Thanks Dezfan, yours is the explanation I found that I mentioned in an earlier post. Not I just need to tackle it lol.

You can also use a dremel with a cut off wheel. I found that easier than using a razor blade.

Would one of those long knifes work? Like the ones used for cutting bread, but sharper.

Your better off using a razor or box cutter.

/pictures somebody cutting foams with a cleaver.

Where can I get one and how much?

I use a long fine tooth sawzall blade. Works like a charm.


Oh,and if anyone needs to know.....you can buy them at the sawzall blade store

OK Here we go.:

Start with a full 2.2 or full size foam.

Cut it in half laterally with sharp fabric cutting scissors. We are dong a set for a comp 2.2 here. You will end up with 8 donuts out of 4 full foams.

[FrankyRizzo]

Next mark the foam at 12, 3, 6, and 9 as on a clock.

Second split those marks in half with another 4 marks. Then split those in half again so you end up with 16 marks evenly spaced. Then split those marks laterally so it kind of looks like a spider web.
