I made a set of permanent templates to use for future gurdy builds.

I had already enlarged my gurdy plans sheet to full-size. I made
tracings of the peghead outlines I wanted then cut-out the tracing and
traced the shape onto thin plywood (masonite or cardboard would work
fine).

I made three full-sized outline templates to use for the initial cuts
on my next peghead. I made three templates: sideview, side borders,
and taper (topview)

On my sideview template I made the figurehead portion a little
oversized to allow enough carving wood for any figurehead shape that
may need to be larger than the one I am carving now. Tim
