The Tailgate


We worked on the tailgate today. We used one of the 10" x 10" pieces we cut from the sheet of plywood. Using a compass we measured and drew a 12" circle from the center of the piece of wood. This marked the lines to cut off the corners of the square so it will fit into our tube.
Next we drew a 8" circle on the wood and divided it into 6 equal parts. The helped us find the position to drill the three holes for the bolts that will be used to adjust the mirror to focus it. we painted the top of the piece and are waiting for it to dry.
