Modifying An Ornate Font

I heard from my VERY first Klic-N-Kut customer yesterday, Kristi H. She posted about needing to modify a very ornate font. So, I had a look at it and decided that this would make a great tutorial in basic welding. I’m not sure I actually fully understand what Kristi needs, but that’s okay. After watching this, I know she’ll let me know if I went down the wrong path. lol In the meantime, this is what I would want to do with these letters to make them more usable for my own cutting.

I have both the video and the letter “H” that I used for the video, in case you want to play with this same font yourself for practice. Note that I kept it rather simple, but you could include a lot more of the flourishes, if you so desire.

    Wow thanks Sandy,
    This has cleared up so many questions I had about welding and losing those little inside bits. Thanks again

    Sandy,
    This is great! I have wanted to this before and I ended up manually tracing the section I needed. Thanks! Georgia
