This is a slightly embarrasing admission, but being a first time builder, I hadn't the confidence to scissor out the form patterns from the plans I ordered from Nick just in case I made a hash of it, so I (er!)photocopied the form cutouts and used these to make the forms. I understand that it probably infringed upon the copyright, but as my intention was purely to 'get it right' I didn't feel that it was very important to get permission to do this (I should have written and asked, I didn't, I am sorry). As it turned out the forms came out really well BUT for some reason the photocopied prints were not 100% accurate because my larger forms are 1-2mm short on height and 1-2mm long on width at either end, when I overlay the forms onto the original plan. The smaller forms are O.K.

What I want to know is, will this make a noticable diference when I start to strip the hill, I really, really dont want to have to go out and buy another sheet of ply and start all over, but if I have to I will. Please advise.

Thank you,

Philip
