I went over to Home Depot, bought some Lexan. Traced, scored, snapped and
used the belt sander to smooth and I have very nice, inexpensive templates
now! I can trace or rotary cut :-) Just thought I'd mention in case
anyone else feels like they would want heavier duty templates :-)

scored with? Glass cutter or do they make a special cutter for this?

What a neat idea. I have forwarded your post to my DS with a special
request for some of my very own.
