All pages included should be printed out on 8.5 x 11 US letter paper. Each component template is drawn to scale
and can be cut out and glued to their respective thickness of material or used as a reference for measurements.
Make sure the ruler at the bottom left of each sheet is 2 inches in length. Alternatively, take a screen-shot and
enlarge the plans using a computer program until the ruler is the correct length, then trace the parts needed onto
a sheet of paper taped over your monitor screen.
