So I found the bench plans that I want to use, however the quality of the drawing is so blurry that my old eyes are having a hard time seeing the details. Does anyone have a way to get a sharper image on that drawing?

Not really clearer but sometimes larger helps. I hear you with the old eyes.

Thanks for the effort. I just don't know how to make some of those numbers clearer.

Derek, I have a probable solution for you. E-mail is coming.

I would layout a full sized drawing on a sheet of MDF - no measuring needed.

Once you have the proportions you like, mark each piece directly off the drawing.
Repeated measurements induce errors in my projects, particularly when there are lots of mortises to cut.

Yeah. That's great if you can read the dimensions off the drawing to lay it out in the first place.

I sent him a readable version last night.
