I am designing holiday characters to place in my yard using plywood. I would like to avoid using an Overhead Projector and transparencies. Any suggestions? (I am not artistic and cannot free hand these).
go to wal-mart and buy a pantograph… read the instructions very carefully. i bought one but its kind of a pain to use. i buy my plans and they come full sized. maybe you could take a drawing or picture of what you want to a copier place and have them blow it up . take that page and cut it into quarters and have those pages enlarged and so on until you get to the size you want then tape them together …

Draw a graph on the picture to be drawn, then draw a larger graph on the plywood, all you have to do is transfer what is in each corresponding graph box . For instance put a half inch graph on the picture and a one inch graph on the plywood and you have increased the size by a half. You can make it as big as you want, just put a bigger graph on the plywood.
