I see some discussion of a Texas Star tutorial but following the link just gives an error message. Thanks.

Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.
5 pointed stars using Lamination Pro?

Looks like the link is broken or the video is no longer on the site. You could contact Lloyd if and ask if he has a copy of the video that could be placed back on the site. Best I could come up with is the thread below.
Looking for info on cutting 5 pointed star "Dallas Cowboy star"
Does anyone have a tutorial or a site that shows the cutting of a 5 pointed star looking for the best way to do this. I have a friend that wants a coffee mug with the Cowboys star on it. thx

I don't recall making one before, but I just created two different designs using Lamination PRO and both designs are sized to be a coaster (3.75" diameter).
The first starts with a symmetric board so the center of the star comes from the center of the board. The board is cut into 1" strips at 36 degrees to make a perfect star. This star is not cut from a full repeating unit but instead from half of a repeating unit and you use the pieces from both the top and the bottom. You'll need to click on the first generation, change the repeating units to 5 and then click on the Radial Segments view to see how it is cut and finally, the Disk icon to see what the finished design looks like when you use both the top and bottom slices.
The second design is simpler but is done completely different from the first. This one uses a non-symmetric board and the center of the star is at the bottom of the board. Click 1st Gen and then click Radial Segments to see how the pieces are cut. With this design, you will use only the top slices. The bottom slices will make a pentagon design but it isn't much to look at.

I have never been good with LamPro so I ask you. Can you design a 6 pointed star, Please.
download the files Lloyd post 3.
change the repeating unit to 6. Should give you a 6 point star.
What Mike said is correct and will easily make you a six-pointed star. I’ve often been asked if you can make a Star of David and the answer is yes and no. Yes to a six-pointed star with one or more surrounding elements, but the primary star will always be filled. A Star of David is actually two unfilled triangles arranged one over the other and this is not a design that is possible with multi-generation laminations. It’s also difficult to do with stacked wood laminations - but not impossible.
