Default drawing a pattern
I need help, I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. I have a pattern of a clown that I am attaching. I need a rough sketch of the side view so I can bandsaw it from 2 sides. If anyone would be willing to do this I would certainly appreciate it.
thank you
Larry

Larry Iwill if I have the time I am closing out my project here in Hot Springs. Have you tried a grid transfer? I bet you could do that and it would give the JUCE my brother.

Larry,

This clown looks much like the old classic Emmet Kelly. Don't know how old you are, but Mr. Kelly was widely acclaimed. Try doing a Google on Emmet Kelly and see if you can find a profile shot. Then all you'd have to do is scale it, trace it and there you go! Where there is will there a will be a way.

L.P.

Hi Don thanks for replying, what I really need is just a side view of the Hat, Head and shoulder area and I know I could'nt get it in proportion right. If I could just get a rough drawing of it so I could bandsaw it. I can carve it in proportion if I have something to start with.
thanks
Larry
