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

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.

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

Thats what i was thinking two pieces are notched to fit together so youll just have to adjust the notches not the whole pattern

Sounds like you got it figured out. Please post a finished picture and then hopefully I will see what you were talking about.

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
