David…maybe…scaled drawings can be tricky. Most everyone will only have easy access to a standard letter size printer. Printers and software vary widely as to how they handle image scale. I know several ways around it though and if there is an element that can only be conveyed by a full scale pattern drawing then that should be something that I could do.
I’ve been going over all of the past projects and have found that a lot of what Paul is showing us is really very fluid. The plane is a good example. None of the dimensions or angles are all that critical. Make the block to fit your blade width, shape the block then grind your blade to match the profile. When we are first learning we want exact measurements, it feels safer somehow. In the long run, the exact measurements may limit our growth as craftsman.
