    Erminio;
    What software do you use?
    If you have Aspire, you can import the photo and trace it to create your vectors. If not you need to create the vectors in a program like Illustrator, Corel draw, photoshop, or one of many Cad programs. Then use those vectors to cut from. Depending on what you are cutting, you might want to cut some test parts from something cheap and light like 1/4 ply or 1/4 MDF, in my opinion this would be the safe way to go.
    If you have problems making the vectors, email me and I'll see what I can do to help.
    As with most jobs, I'm sure there are a lot of different solutions, some easier than others.
