Draw a sausage shape and intersect it with the board. Then delete the part of the sausage shape and leave the recess. I'll make an example for you as soon as I can.

Here's a quick version to tide you over till Dave has time.

Dave R

Actually, that'll do. Thank you, sir.

I'm just too lazy to bother typing directions these days.

Well, that works. I was going to post a similar thing but don't have LICEcap available so I was going to do it the long way.

Hey,

Thanks so much guys.

I am going to give that a try and let you know how it goes...

How do I copy that great little video to keep for future reference?

It's an animated gif, right click and save image as...

mbgeller

I right clicked and saved image as, and gave it a name - but when I click on the downloaded file, it says application not found?

You can try to open it with your web browser (or assign the gif file type to it).

I was able to save and open the file on another computer that has different software. Now, what I would like to be able to do is start and stop the file (like watching a video, so I can study and understand what steps are being performed to make the cove shape.

Any ideas on how to start and stop the animated gif file?

Thanks,
Mordi

I'm not sure you can easily do what you are asking with the GIF file. I made a video with some narration showing how it's done. Here's the link. As you can tell I didn't spend a lot of time on it but I hope it is helpful.

mbgeller

Yes Dave it is very helpful indeed!
Thanks so much for all your help on this.
