Measuring Furniture for Reproduction with Phil Lowe

Reproducing a piece of furniture can be a challenge when you don't have a set of plans. Phil Lowe shows you how to take measurements off an existing piece, create a set of plans, and then reproduce the piece in the workshop. You'll learn how to make simple aids to take measurements to make a set of full-size plans. You'll see how to: make freehand sketches; use story sticks to find dimensions; scribe profiles of curved parts; measure and analyze hidden joinery; make templates from your drawings; and use templates to rough-out parts.
