The very last frame at the end of Dan’s video it says”On to the build in the next series” “LINK BELOW” I did not find any link to the build….what or where is this supposed link??
Ack! Sorry about that. That will be coming tomorrow.
Dan, where exactly is the video build? Ralph
Dan, sorry found it, 2 videos. Ralph
It's always a pleasure to watch a master at work, regardless the stage of the project. I've always drawn up plans, more like measured doodles on graph paper, although I've tried to create something more formal. Dan not only helped demystify the process of creating plans but also provided insight into reading them. Thank you for all of your time and effort.
I don’t see a scale on the full size drawing. Are we to assume we aren’t expected to be able to do this build?
They're full-size. So 1:1.
So you're saying I take it to a business (e.g. - FEDEX Office) and say print full size and the file itself informs? I had a banjo plan printed and there is description on the plan that the border is 31" by 22". From that I could measure and see it was printed the correct size.
Lest I seem un-grateful, I have surely enjoyed the video series of the build and will probably watch thisn too.
