How do I make a template

[roscoe1129]

Take a fatty marker and put it in a rollerblade wheel then put your cardboard to the dash and roll the wheel down the dash curve and transfer that to the cardboard cut and redo if needed to get whatever length you want

cardboard would work also, just slowly cut away til it fits the contours

they call it the flexible curve i cant link ya

I use this, unless I need to build something much larger and quicker. Then I use poster board and just trim it to fit. Then use that to transfer the design to wood. All depends on what is going on and what I'm building. I have used a combination of both in the same build as well.

Pipe cleaners should work, but it may be a tad off because of the "fringy things" on them..but nothing you couldn't trim or sand down.

Cardboard or maybe a coat hanger. Those are free too!
