My normal procedure is to get two copies made of the plans and put the originals in a file. One copy is hung on the shop wall for reference and the other copy is spray-glued to cardboard and cut out for templates.
It works for me.

I would assume they are full scale. All his electric guitar plans say "full scale" but no scale listed on the acoustics. I haven't seen any guitar or uke plans that aren't full scale....and I collect alot of plans. Guess you'd have to call him and ask |

Get them photocopied. Sometimes the printed result is not exact so check the critical dimensions on the original and on the copies before you commit to templates. |
