Happy Thanksgiving.......You guys are all so nice and helpful here. Here is
my problem: I know it sounds stupid, but since I don't have any more tracing
paper, almost everything is on NCR paper, how do I trace a intricate round
item onto a piece of wood? Then I need to cut it out, I have no scroll saw,
but I have one of these high speed things like a roto-zip or whatever they
call it. I have diamond cutters and tungsten cutters. I wonder if that
works.

Any craft store, and even the craft section at Wal Mart, carries
"graphite paper" sold for exactly this purpose. They even sell a
little metal stylus with different sized balls on the ends.

Do a Google search -- there was a thread on exactly this topic about a month
ago, that offered many great ideas.

Look for an embossing stylus. I have a couple and they work very well,
even with cheap carbon paper.

I found it. Thank you Doug, your follow up and help in this NG (and I'm very
new) is so much appreciated. Bless you for being so nice. Thank you again, I
guess knowing how to put the right words down in the Google search area is
important.........Peter
