Default Making Stencils

Has anyone ever tried to produce their own stencils? I'd like to try, but I'm not sure where to start.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Default RE: Making Stencils

I have done a little bit so am far from an expert but here is what I did. I firmly taped a paper image of what I wanted to a piece of frisket paper. I then cut both the paper image and frisket paper by folowing the lines on the paper image with my hobby knife.

The marking on my combat models F-16 were done using this method. The kit supplier supplied the paper templates so I did not have to create them myself.

I generated the lettering in Autocad, also used frisket paper.
