Back Issue Popular Mechanics (chair plans)

Hello All,
I sure could use some help. SWMBO wants a chair like the one in PM
issue Feb. 2002,they call it 100th anniversary chair, I called, no
back issue available.
What I need is a readable copy of the breakdown (picture). I have
downloaded the picture from the net but the dimensions are not
readable.
I haven't been able to find very many indoor chair plans on the net or
at the library, so I ask you fine people to help me if you can.

Thanks, jaq

Did you click on the "click to enlarge" text on the materials list picture?

http://www.popularmechanics.com/home_journal/woodworking/1273301.html

Once enlarged, I had no trouble reading the dimensions on this 19" monitor @
1280 x 1024, and it was even easier to read after copying it to Paint Shop
Pro and enlarging the enlarged materials list jpg.

I don't have Paint Shop Pro, but usually, I say again "usually", if
I can't quite make out the letters/numbers on the screen, I've found
that if I print the page out, that I can often read it clearly.
Usually. Often.

See if this helps the OP ... 150% enlargement of the enlargement. I can read
in FireFox with no trouble, so printing it ought to work. Worth the shot.
