enyDo you buy that paper, print it or just draw it?

gunmakerI got a batch from a checkering class years ago and ran some through a copy machine. Later I drew it up in CAD and specified a line weight that printed well. Laser printer works best.

This is a wonderful thread since as I'm about to embark on another checkering job.
