Full Version: Gavel Bands

Anyone else doing your gavel bands on your laser?
I have started using Flexibrass and my customers like it much better than brass. One customer returned with 3 previous gavels to have the band re-engraved so it could be readable.
Thought I share the Corel 12 layout to vector these out.

It is a great idea. We started using flexi for this a few years ago.
I would never go back to the old way. Thanks for bringing this back for
anyone who has not seen it before.

TJ,
Any chance of reposting in a format that us non-Corel users can see? :-)
FlexiBrass has also been a Godsend for wrapping engraved plates around cylindrical trophy bases.
Thanks,

Sure, here is a PLT file and a AI.
Hope this helps

TJ,
I'm not trying to run you through the mill, but I get "text" when trying to open the PLT file and Internet Explorer doesn't know how to handle the AI file.
Is the image a photo? If so, a jpg would be a file anyone should be able to open.

TJ,
Thank you. So, is that a template for the gavel band?
If so, is it for the 8" or 10" gavel?
Thanks again

WOW, sorry for such a large .JPG.
I have only used it for a 10" gavel and it works great.
I use an Epilog mini, Flexibrass and cutout @ 50 speed
90 power fq. 500.

"... but I get "text" when trying to open the PLT file ..."
If it is in Corel you must select the PLT filter to have it converted. PLT is text and if in 'All File Formats' it imports the text. Usually pages of it.

Harvey,
I thought the attachment was a photo. Didn't realize it was a downloadable template.

Thanks for the info.
