John,

I don't use that method, just pointing out that drafting Mylar (trade name) is a great material for tracing if that was the method someone wanted to use.

For me it's easy and relatively inexpensive to just take the plans to one of the office supply places that make copies and let them make an exact paper copy that I can cut up to make patterns from while leaving the original plans intact. Also gives the advantage of having a second set of the full size patterns printed so you don't have to flip the plan to make the second half of the station. Just cut out the two full size halves and stick them to the wood to make one full size station.

Bill H.
