mikesscrollsaw Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Would you rescale the whole pattern? 1/4 is twice as large as 1/8 But if you rescale it that much the whole thing will be twice a big Couldnt you just go through each pattern piece that connects to each other and hand change from 1/8 to 1/4 Maybe im thinking of this wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedkm Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Do you really have to re scale this pattern? I wouldn't think the thickness of the wood should make a difference in the pattern it self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjswoodcrafts Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Dale, yeah the pattern said it is made for 1/8 wood, and the way some of the pattern is has that other pieces go into each other, hard to explain, but all i did is made them wider by 1/8 so 1/4 would fit in them. sorry if that dont make sense, but it is hard to explain, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesscrollsaw Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thats what i was thinking two pieces are notched to fit together so youll just have to adjust the notches not the whole pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedkm Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sounds like you got it figured out. Please post a finished picture and then hopefully I will see what you were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixman Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I don't worry about the thickness. I would draw it up and cut it except for the notches, leave them until last. Hold all the bits together and you will see what , if any, adjustment is needed. Re-sketch the new positions and cut them. Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
