Tuning table graphics

[JamieM]

Besides the graphic that 5KidsRacing has on their site are there any others out there that you guys are using?

Also, how did you attach to the underside of your glass? I scored an old storm door someone was getting rid of and the glass measures 24.5x62.5 and was wondering if when building your table did you sandwich the graphic with plywood as an under laminate?

 

[5KidsRacing]

Yes just sandwich it... no need to attach it to the glass or plywood underneath. Evolution has one, but it is just my mine with a logo. I can get you a different size... let me know.

Sharpie on plywood for a scale. I just have glass on top of the plywood. Simplicity at its best.

I am getting ready to build one with a storm door that is 36 X 80". Is there a graphic available for that size?

Well it is good to see 5kids is still chiming in! I got my graphic from Derby Evolution. At the time, he just emailed me the file and I took it to a print shop and they made it to the sizr i needed.

Txs, I ordered it to download. Great tip!

The 36" x 80" is HERE

The 24" x 96" is HERE

The 24" x 96" will make a 4 ft. tuning board (58" total length) or a 62" tuning board (72" total length) or a 86" tuning board (96" total length).

Thanks so much. This is awesome!

@5KidsRacing Is there a reason for all the extra lines surrounding the car outline at the top? Can I edit the illustration in Adobe Illustrator?

I use the lines to line up the car the same each time. A little shift will give you totally different results. Some guys will mount a block at the start and push the car against the block to make the start exactly the same each time. That is a good idea..... feel free to edit as you wish.

Where do you recommend going to get this printed?

 

[slipstream]

I took mine (uploaded on website) to kinko's I forget the actual price but it was 3 or 4x more to get it laminated (80$ total for the 5 foot). I going to guess and say it would be under 20$ for the full print out you can have them cut it shorter (what I did) it will be less. its less then 5$ for 5kids 1 sided tuning board. it steers left vs right I asked if they could flip it they said no so I got the normal print out.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m definitely going to make one of these. Very cool!
