Gary,
I certainly hope this question is not too stupid but I’m really frustrated with trying to find patterns and information on how to make patterns from everything from cabriole legs to aprons to cathridal doors and basically all kinds of different designs. I’m sorry I said that this would be stupid. I’ve been in the woodworking business now seriously for I guess roughly two years. Ofcourse it’s taken me that long to get to the point to where I know there is no returning from here but I cant even begin to tell you how much passion I have found in this type of fun. I purchased all new equipment about six months ago and including in that huge finnanicial denever I bought a Mini Max Bandsaw. I want so bad to be able to use it more and more everyday but I cant seem to find information on where to buy or actual demminsions on how to make Patterns of all kinds. I cant even find drawing paper with one inch squares as well. I Watch these videos on you experts cutting out legs on the bandsaw whether its cabriole or ogee bracket legs I find it really cool but as I said before I cant seem to find any information to help me. Sorry to bother you with this question but I really dont know where to go Obviously I subscribe to Fine Woodworking so I read alot of your articles so I was hoping you could lead me in a positive direction. Thanks Ziggy Wade

There are some examples of legss in the above pdf. If you blow up the images to the desired size and then trace onto the graph paper you can cut along the lines.
