    I have found my copy machine to be useful when designing. I draw  a
    top, frontal and side view, copy it and then glue to the wax using
    spray on adhesive. The design can be copied again and mounted on thin
    cardboard and cut along specific lines to male a template. The
    template can be used to get dimensions correct during the carving
    operation. Lastly, the design can be precisely enlarged or diminished to 
    make companion pieces.
