The second leg has set overnight.
Temporarily placed the legs under the slab to check the fit.
The bottom of the board is not flat.
Will scribe a line on the leg to match the shape of the board.
Sharpened the pencil in the compass.
I had bought these compasses (Vemco brand), along with triangles and other drafting tools when I started working at GM in 1990.
Although CAD was coming into wider use, for the type of one-off concept work we were doing, the manual method was faster.
I had not learned drafting before the GM job.
Learned "on the job."
The work can be quite satisfying, although tedious...
After scribing the lines, used a blue colored pencil to make the line more prominent.
Will cut these irregular lines on the band saw...
