I made one that would seat a child. I would think if you blew the pattern up it should work. I was from Better homes and garden. I am sure if you called winfeild they could help you. The Gigantic Reindeer & Sleigh Pattern seem that it would work. This link was what I found on winfield site. Was this the one you was looking at?

We made one for our annual program at work. Just drew it out on a sheet of plywood until it looked like a sleigh then stack cut it to have both sides. Then we bolted a bench in between to hold them together and have a place to sit. I have been tasked with getting it ready for next weekend. I will try to take pictures of it and post them Wednesday or Thursday. It's very easy to do. Mike
