Thank you for the advice. I was just being lazy and didn't want to perform a search and rescue mission for that silly template.
FYI, I can get 14 tris out of the WOF, and four rows of 14 will will give me make the 56 plain tris needed. At just a hair over 8-1/2", that's about a yard. I di not even want to try the math for the scallops, lol, but 1/2 yard should be more than enough. I set aside 2 yards to allow for my boo-boos

That is an excellent suggestion. I will definitely do that!
Thank you both for the advice! Seeing real progress on my DJ is so exciting!
