    Vancouver - Fraser Valley meetup

    I'm interested, in meeting up with a few other metalworking hobbyists, in the lower mainland. Unfortunately, due to family health reasons, I can't be away from my East Vancouver home for more than 3.5-4 hours, so the closer the better.

    Transfer paper pattern to sheet aluminum

    I have a 24x18" pattern (almost entirely curved lines) drawn on thick (110lb) paper. What is a good way to transfer it to a sheet of aluminum, then a mirror image to another sheet of aluminum. I need to be able to follow some of the transferred pattern with a bandsaw and some with a bead roller.
