Default Lettering Pattern Transfers
Recently I have been carving small lettered wood plaques. Thanks to some on this board I leaned that lettering patterns can be created on MS Word, Printed and taken to a copier that performs Mirror image copies. Then I use the Pattern Transfer tool I got from My Chip Carving and after about 8 minutes warm up and a few slow passes over the copy I get a pattern transfer that is pretty darn good. It also works on other patterns that I have photo copied from books, etc. No tedious tracing or drawing...just print and transfer. Pretty cool

Ed,
Check out your printer software for mirror imaging. I have a HP printer with this feature. Might save you a trip to the copier.
