Transferring a Pattern
To transfer a pattern to a workpiece (in this case a hold-down arm for a
taper jig), we used a simple trick. All it required was a photocopy of the
pattern and an ordinary household iron.
With the photocopy placed face down against the workpiece, slowly move the iron (set on high) back and forth, see top photo.
The heat from the iron reactivates the toner on the photocopy and transfers
the image to the workpiece, see bottom photo.
