New Use For Large Screen TV

[jm190]

Hi All, got the urge to build a smooth rifle but hadn't been able to figure out how to easily enlarge images from RCA volumes. My apology if this is old news to anyone. Then a light bulb came on.

This is what I did; 1. scanned page out of RCA into a .pdf, 2. saved scan to thumb drive and opened it in laptop connected to large screen TV, 3. opened .pdf in Adobe and adjusted zoom until a known dimension measures properly on the display screen, 4. attach tracing paper and trace whatever outline you need.

I used the length of the lock plate as it was the most clearly defined dimension. I'll have to try an image like a .jpg to see if it comes out with better definition.

Hope this helps!
John

If you have a blueprint printer in your area, they can print them for you.

Did you know with a few old pallets, and a large flat screen TV, you can make a dandy fish cleaning station?

That's what I was hoping. During a scene of the Patriot would have been epic.
