Step 2Print the Patterns
Attached below is the pattern I used to make the pedal (in both Illustrator and PDF formats). Print out four copies of the case pattern on cardstock or regular paper (I like to use cardstock because it holds together better during cutting). Print one of the label pattern on regular paper. Print the electrolysis-resist pattern on glossy photo paper using a laser printer set to its darkest setting.
Using spray adhesive, paste one pattern on the 6x6" piece of 3/4" plywood. Paste one pattern on each of the 1/8" pieces of plywood. Depending on the spray adhesive you use, you may have to let the glue dry for a minute or so before sticking it onto the wood, or it will be too difficult to get off later.
If the plastic sheet you have still has a layer of protective film, you can glue the pattern right onto it. If not, stick down some packing tape and glue the pattern onto that.
The aluminum plate can be cut on its own, but I recommend sandwiching it between two layers of scrap (low-grade) plywood. This makes it much easier to cut.
Allow all the patterns plenty of time to dry, so they don't accidentally peel while you're cutting them out.
