Sanyo projector system - part 2

From the last session we are going to glue, clamp and screw the box together.

Ballerina wall feature - Part 3

In the last session we made the 1200 x 700mm picture frame and with lots of clamps around the edges left it to dry.

I mentioned that I was trying to figure out a way to transfer the ballerina cutting template to a large sheet of 3mm MDF sheet. I tried with my 3M (overhead projector) but that didn't work out.
Next up is to have a go with the Sanyo short throw projector but I don't have a screen.

Sanyo projector system - Part 1

Earlier this year a family friend gave me a Sanyo Short Throw LCD projector.

I

SANYO PLC-XL50 Short Throw LCD Projector

Unit works well and has a low usage lamp but very fiddly to align screen position

Ballerina wall feature - Part 2

Continuing on from the first session I cut a sheet of 3mm MDF down to 1200 x 700mm

Ballerina wall feature - Part 1

I have some orders from Melbourne School of Dance for various night lights including this BIG Ballerina.

Customer is happy with this silhouette pattern which at 1200 x 700mm will be the largest I have ever made! Here I have created the cutting template in MS Word 2013 and now I have a problem!
How do I transfer that template to a large sheet of 3mm MDF ???

Another new toy for kitties.
