uno.....I just want simple clear black and white pictures that I can save to disk...... then open up in this windows paint program...... scale it....print out.....glue it on a bit of mdf.....draw lines up to the edge ......notch the lines for me pencil......so I can size them...and copy a million of them if I want uno, and call the designs me own. :U
I can draw a little bit......but being a stubborn tosser I could spend an hour trying to get the picture to look just right..... and then latter realise I don't like it still.
Just want a big list of side views to choose from....fancy stuff especially (no boring playschools stuff)......no words, or descriptions.....just pictures.
Any ideas ?

Unethical? No... I reckon it's just no-one really knows. :D
All the pix I've seen have been photos... although I vaguely remember a 1950's school woodwrok textbook with something similar. Got a library nearby? :wink:

Thanks Bernie. Found one I liked from that link. Printed it out. The bigger the pictures as seen on the screen the better,,,,because the less likely they'll distort when I stretch them with that paint program.
That one I printed out I'm happy with cause I can literially measure it straight off the printout with calipers and copy exact. ( I'm a big cheat Bernie. )

A big cheat? Where? Using calipers to transfer measurements? Or modifying existing plans?
One's the basis of copy turning (and many people never master it :rolleyes:) and the other is standard practice in every workshop I've ever worked in... :D
