This weekend was around freezing, so me and my teacher (Paul) decided to work inside. We worked in his workshop, which is in the attic/loft of his house. I didn't know what he was planning to do, but when I got to his house, I learned that we would be building a sandwich-board for our school, PLC.
We gathered materials, which were all left-over scrap from other projects.We found a piece of 1/4 inch plywood, which was 4' x 2'. I suggested that we cut it in half, as to have two 2'^2 boards - one for each side of the sandwich-board. There were a nice piece of 2-by-4 sitting on the back of the shed outside, which we promptly cut up to make the legs. A bit of thought was put into how long the legs would be, but we decided that 3' was too small, and 4' was too high, so we cut them 3.5' (3' , 6") long.
Just as we were about to put it together, we realised we had no hinges that were of the correct size! We pondered a bit, and I came up with the idea of using a dowel as a hinge. Paul had a dowel that was 5/8th inch in diameter, and about 3' long - it was perfect!
To be continued int Part-2!
