High accuracy transfer of cutting blueprint onto plywood I'm looking to cut a bunch of interlocking pieces from plywood. As a cheaper alternative to laser cutting (I've got a quote for 90 bucks) I'm exploring my options to do this by hand.

What would be the best way to transfer a schematic with very fine lines onto plywood sheets so I can cut it out with a hobby saw?

Most options I've seen so far seem very prone to smudging or other distortions. If you're transfering large, rough structures that isn't as critical.

My intuition tells me that probably the most reliable and error-tolerant way would be to print the schematic on paper, cut it out, tape it to the plywood and then carefully saw along the outline...

Edit: The parts I'm planning to make are relatively small, a few centimeters, so I should be able to fit a decent number on a single sheet of paper...
The toner transfer method of transferring an image onto a PCB should also work on wood.

Basically you laser print (a mirror image if you need to work from the front) on suitable paper (I've done this with inkjet glossy photo paper), then iron onto the material, and you get a nice clean black image.

You're limited by the size of the print you can make, or your ability to join prints together.

If you want to stick a paper template onto the wood as you suggest in your question, I recommend repositionable spray mount all over the back of the template.  Taping is less effective once you start cutting.
