New Yankee Workshop PLANS--HOW TO COPY - 15 replies I have a plan for Norm’s Adirondack Chair and all the drawings are shown on a grid. The plan says the grid layout is on 1” squares, but I don’t really have a way to blow this up on my copy machine. Unless I find someone with an architectural plotter, I can’t make copies.

My lumber supplier does both, but they expect to get rid of the wood pretty fast. I buy the wood and may not use it for a few years. Will lumber bow if stood on end? I have... |
