I’m just about to resaw my maple version of Roubo’s Folding Bookstand that’s based on Roy
Underhill’s article, and I made a full-size pattern of the elevation of the project.

Want it?

It’s a pdf that shows the scrollwork at the top and bottom of the bookstand, plus it shows where you should make the crosscut on the front piece. You’ll have to print it out on 11″ x 17″ paper (or print it out in pieces). I can’t help you with that part – I don’t know how your printer works. So find a 14-year-old to help if you have problems.
