I am getting ready to attempt a building of the famous Jake chair. But, I need some help in interpreting the drawings that come with the plans from the website. My problem is that I don't understand the measurements that seem not to fit decimal equivalents. For example, the "seat slat" drawing has dimensions listed as 27.00 by 1.55. What does the 1.55 correspond to in fractions? Am I missing something? One other item, each drawing has a scale at the bottom but some don't seem to fit the drawing. Anyone know what that is all about? Any advise is surely welcome.
