Cowgirl - tack & halter rack

Post by tomloewen »

This is an offshoot one of my earlier files I posted over a year ago, and I know at that time, it had some issues. I'm hoping someone can take a look at it and check to see if its ready to cut. I don't have a table or the software needed to do that, and I don't like to post this file in the File Sharing Forum till it's ready to cut.

The file is also a mixture of splines and polylines, which sucks for me. I now just use polylines when creating dxf files, but like I mentioned, this is one of my earlier files.

My plan is to have this cut out locally and weld some horseshoes on the banner portion, its to be used as a tack and halter rack. After that, I'm donating it to a barrel racing jackpot and silent auction being held for my sister-in-law, who's struggling with breast cancer . . . she's a tough gal.

thanks, Tom

ok thanks, I kinda figured it had major problems. Unfortunitly, my telant only lies in the creation of these files . . . I suck at the rest ! :oops:

Hopefully someone can take the time to fix it up, thanks.

Tom I don't see any problems with the file myself. It will cut as is. There are 275 pierces in it so it will take time but it will cut.

There's a few hickups with it but as always Tom you do great work and for others who aren't familiar with Toms work, he creates freehand files from scratch and not traces. I've joined the segments and reduced the nodes to about 10 % and think I've adjusted any intersecting lines but you may want to adjust her nose a bit. If you remember when I cut it for you before her nose was a bit piggy looking. I'll attach a pic of the old file.
Thanks, Murray
