If you click on "Our Magazine" above you will find a path to purchase those back issues.  I just finished building a LH #5, a RH #5, and then a RH #7.5.  It was suppose to be a #8 but I spaced the ties too close together when I made the tie bed.  They only take a couple days to build so go for it.

Travis,

You can also get the full size templates on-line. Select 'For Beginners' and from the drop down menu select 'Downloadable How-to Articles'. I would agree with Rex - also order the back issues.

 Travis,

 You can buy just these articles as PDFs if you don't want the entire issue. This PDF includes the full-size plans: http://www.kalmbachstore.com/grpdf057.html
