Scrappile Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I have several times, never had a problem... If I remember correctly, it took around two weeks for the plans to arrive... Maybe a little less. ben2008 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I've ordered from Pedro before as well, and shipping to IL was a couple weeks if I remember correctly. He has some excellent patterns. ben2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans are expensive and shipping is quite high. I hope they are better than some of the plans I have received lately from our US companies.

Tomanydogs Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Ben, Pedro has great easy to follow plans. I’ve cut a few of his stuff already. I order and get the plans pdf to my email right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 First thing I do when I want to do one of his plans it take it to a copy place, OfficeMax, UPS store, something like that and get several copies made.... They come on A4 size paper, or some size not typical for most home printers in the U.S.. The plans are very go. I started his Cremona Wall Clock sometime ago, then got side tracked... Need to get back to it, got most the fretwork complete. What ever you get completed.... send Pedro a picture... we need more items posted from the USA... ben2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben2008 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks for the info Paul. The Cremona clock is one of the patterns I ordered plus 2 others. I'm guessing that will keep me busy for quite a while. yes. I will make several copies. I usually do. I do plan on sending Pedro a pic of the finished clock. I would like to see yours when It's finished. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the plans to be sent by email once, this was some time ago, I just could not get them sized right...Probably because, I did not know how.... so I email Pedro and asked for hardcopies.... He sent them quickly and I have ordered them that was ever since... Have you ever had problems printing them? I think it had something to do with the plans were sized for A4 paper, I can only print 8 1/2 x 11. Just couldn't get it to work for me.... What is your standard in Canada?

HA,,, A couple years ago Pedro had some real health problems and his site sort of shut down.... Least he could not respond to orders and such.... When he finally got back to it,,, I ordered quite a few of his box plans and the clock... because I wanted to make sure I had them, just in case... if you know what I mean... It appears he is doing fine... Hope so. I will probably not live long enough to complete his plans that I have. But I an a patternaholic.. The last box I did, didn't make the cut to be pictured at his site... I thought I did pretty good with it,, but the picture never got posted. I love looking at the pictures of what others have done with his patterns... Always inspires me.. Like I stated,, only a few USA people.... ben2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love looking at the pictures of what others have done with his patterns... Always inspires me.. Like I stated,, only a few USA people.... I understand perfectly. The last clock i made (just recently) I sat on the pattern for about 3 years. I need a couple of lifetimes to do all my patterns also. I have enough wood to make many many patterns. I'll never use it all up. At 81, I'm slow, and will never be able to finish but a very small percentage of my plans. I still have a few plans floating around from over 50 years ago when I started with my little Dremel scroll saw. I also have many items I have not posted here. Some pics have been lost also.

I have a brother printer that will print Ledger (11” X 17”). Pedro puts them on A3 (11 3/4 X 16 1/2) the sizes are out a smidge but it seems to work. @Scrappile in fact the brother printer is able to print A3 size paper, but I can’t find anywhere to buy A3 paper locally.
