You don't really need them full size, and imo, that isn't even desirable. With the offsets, you use battens and make them full sized onto the wood itself. There are a number of freeware type programs that you can run on your pc to get these tables and to experiment with the design. The link below has a superb listing of them. Download some and play. Myself, I like the Carene programs, especially for S&G.
