HelixFrench Curves And Ellipse Templates (Pack of 3), Blue Tint

this product was delivered in perfect condition and non-damaged. this particular product (i believe any way) was value for money as this was the cheapest that i could find it at. this is very helpful as i am studying both a level engineering and a level product design. as a student of both of these topics, this piece of stationary is essential for these particular subjects.

I needed to trim a length of picture rail to fit under the lip of a curve of a cabinet. I tried all sorts of methods of creating a template, cardboard, tape, etc., but they were all pretty lame.Not sure how I came across this. as I am not a handyman or draftsman by any stretch of the imagination and had never heard of French curves (in carpentry terms anyway) and decided to give it a try.As you can see, it matches the curve of the cabinet top easily and will make creating a template a breeze.

These curves would be twice as good (and earn five stars) if they had an ink rebate on both sides. As it is: not a professional item but nicely finished at an attractive price. Applying several layers of masking tape to the underside will sort them out if you're using a technical pen like an Isograph, so it's not as if it's an insurmountable problem - and anyone who is using pencils or fineliners shouldn't have any problems. The ellipse cut-outs will either be a bonus or an annoyance depending on whether you're the sort of person who has amassed a pile of such templates ... either way they're not a problem.

Does the job perfectly

Great piece of kit, well made and accurate, cannot elieve it costs less than £4 delivered.

Good for crafting

Arrived in good time. Item as described. Good quality. The edges are smooth. Easy to draw round the template. Would buy more templates from this supplier if I need them.

As a mechanical engineering student I can safely say I'd have died drawing all the isometrics for my portfolio without this. It has a brilliant range of sizes and has markers for you to follow on your page. It is a decent size and fits nicely in my drawing folder :)

Me ha encantado, me creía que no iba a ser tan buenas por el precio comparado con otras marcas. No es rígida, se puede doblar un poco, esta flexibilida es muy útil.

These French curves are very good, and are what you'd expect from such a product. The only thing I'd make clear is that the photo makes them look opaque, or a dark blue. They're really a clear, lightish blue, so you can easily see through them to whatever is on the page.
