I once saw a tool (can't remember if it was something on the web or something you downloaded) that helped you design tiles for rosettes. Does anybody remember this? Do you have a URL? Thanks... |

Brock, it works for me. You have to fill in each row of the tiles and each stick in every row, but it does fill in once you do all that. |

Brock, you might have to download a plugin for it (thats what I get). Also the Windows "Paint" program can be zoomed in on enough to show a grid, where each pixel would represent one piece of the mosaic. It works pretty well. |

What plug in do you need? Usually when I need a plug in Windows comes up and asks me if I want to install it, but on this I just get a broken image. (Sorry... ![]() |

I'm not sure what plugin is needed. When I clicked on the link it just worked for me. I guess I could have already had the right plugin installed though. |

That's pretty cool, I wish I had that when I did my tile roosette. I just used a 1/8" grid and a pencil. |

I'd like to know how some people cut those little glued up logs into tiles? After all that work I wouldn't want to see half of it end up sawdust. I supose one of those picture frame slicers would work? |

Normally I just make a little miter box, and use an X-Acto razor saw. |

Never seen an X-Acto razor saw but it sounds very cool....and sharp. Thanks! |

being a troglodytic technodope, i used mm graph paper and coloured pencils. given my state of mental decrepitude it would still probably be far quicker than trying to learn a new bit of software. |
