Looking for a plan....

[SabertoothBunny]

Woodcraft magazine posted a plan for a pen stand that looks worthwhile. Does anyone have a current subscription and have access to this plan? I am not sure if it is worth $20+ for a subscription to a magazine that usually doesn't provide enough value for me to get this one plan.

I do not have the time or energy to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it is easier to just use the finished plan rather than figuring out the proportions myself when photos project a concept but not dimensions.

Mountain City Bill mentioned Libby--if you have a library card for your local system, you can enter those credentials and access all sorts of digital copies of books and periodicals.
