Patterning

[Rick Roemer]

Thanks for this info. I want to make a plate. I assume steel - how thick? What is your's made of Randy? What is in the center? Stan, you mention a mix of paint and oil - 50/50 mix? What does the oil do? Sorry for the barrage of questions. I have always just used paper, but it gets old having to change all the time. Do you shoot more than once before you roll it?

Thanks everyone for input.

Rick the owner of a local fabricating shop had a piece of scrap 1/8" metal plate that he was able to cut that out of. It's thin but easy to move around and will handle any shot size that I would ever shoot it with. He welded that doughnut aiming/focus point in the middle of it. Looks like it's a 1/4" piece. I also used paper until now and I agree that it is a PITA.
