I have good news and bad news............... The site I went on to figure out how to draw a dresden template said the standard blade was 3.5 x 1 x 5 long, and this would make a 20 blade dresden that would fit in a 12.5 inch square. So I busy myself cutting and making 30 blades (enough for 1.5 blocks while I look for the perfect fabric for the other 10 blades) anyway, it worked up great, nice flat plate, but only takes 12 blades, so now I have all these extra blades. Oh well guess to many is better then not enough.
