New Yankee Workshop PLANS--HOW TO COPY - 11 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.
