This plan is awesome and I really want to print it out, but I can't figure out how to print it to the correct size I have an Imac and an HP printer, can anyone give me any suggestions? http://www.crane.gr.jp/CRANE_etc/A010_C ... 2_2010.pdf

You could try printing A4 on your own printer and get to your library/local print shop/supermarket, whatever, and enlarge that to A3.
Look for a button, or function on the menu "A4 -> A3" rather than enlarging as a percentage.

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Try this. http://woodgears.ca/bigprint/index.html

Save it as a jpeg then use that program to set the dimensions and it'll print on multiple pieces of paper to the correct size.

It was in a post here from last week if anyone missed it. Seems like a cool program. Just scaled and printed a body shape I want to play with. Works pretty good.

Take it to a blueprint shop. Or worst case a Kinkos type of place which will cost a little more.

It should cost less than $2 to print.

I went through this search for a way to tile print pdf's without having to buy Adobe software a few days ago. I found this online site for free printing:

It worked for me.

Thats a VERY interesting Harp Uke. I think I may tuck those plans away for a build. Thanks for pointing them out!

I was looking at page 2. Just wondering, how does one position a fret saw to withing a 100th of a mm?
