Big (BIG!) grid/graph paper
« on: August 11, 2015, 04:20:57 PM »
In working on the design for my octagonal glassebo, I found that I wanted to draw a full size joint for best visualization, and ultimate transfer to a template.

I'd been working on an 8.5 x 11 gridded engineer's computation pad.

A quick cruise through Staples, and voila! A Staples Stickies 25 x 30 easel, and... it's gridded with 1" grids! Just what I was looking for.

If you ever need to make a large drawing of something, this seems like a good way to go.

I tried, but can't find it on the Staples site... The item # on the cover sheet is 573751.

It wasn't sticky or adhesive in any way, but I used to use a "pad" otherwise like that to track the instruments I had to build way back when. The grid was useful to keep the lines straight.  ;)

Another source could be Quill.
