James, our plans are deliberately not to scale especially not the PDF ones.
All the dimensions are there, no need to scale anything from the plans.

In keeping with the "cheap" theme, I picked up some pseudo-luan (meranti)
at
Home Depot (I know...I know) and got her all cut out. Seems like the
nesting
plan must not be to scale, the seat dimensions are way bigger than the
leftover material on the 2 sheets. Not a problem though...plenty of other
scrap around.

So far, all is well. I did the cutting with a jigsaw that I'd never used
before so, the first cut or two had some extra wave. Thanks goodness for
fillets & tape!!

Well...enough chat I suppose. I'll be off to the lumber store first
thing
in
the morning to get started! Thanks everyone for the insights and advice.
I'll post as the thing progresses......Hey Jaques, tell me in advance
what
the first mistake I'll be making is. I can then move on to the second
one
without delay!!!

Jaques,

You are absolutely correct. The dimensions (US & Metric) were all just fine.
I was only commenting that the nesting diagram implies that there will be
enough left to make the seat from the two sheets. Clearly the dimensions
indicate otherwise.

I'm not bitching though, the plans are worth at least 10x what I paid for
them .

Thanks for the info, the plans, the web site, etc., etc.!!
