You can make a profile template very quickly with a piece of cardboard,
a fat marker, and a pair of scissors.

Hey Dan,
Not trying to sound any dumber than I am - but is there a technique to the cardboard and scissors approach? Or is it just a cycle of trimming and fitting until you get it right? I don't need a very accurate template for my case (need a sheet metal shop to make some tie down saddles for by DG300), I'm just thinking about how to get it right the first time.

thx, JJ
