8' 2X4, drill a hole big enough to put a pencil through 1" any from one end. 3' from your pencil hole drill a hole for a deck screw, then at 4' and 5'. You screw in the hole for 3' on a the plywood your cutting, put your pencil in the pencil hole and swing the 2X4 to draw. You still have to make sure your beginning and end points meet where you want them but you'll figure it out. for a mellow quarter use the five foot hole. For a rad quarter use the 3 foot and get a little vert

where exactly do i make the hole on the plywood? in the center or one of the corners? i don't want to fuck up one of the pieces of ply trying to figure it out.

I was hoping you would figure that out, it’s kind of hard to explain. First off you are going to use the screw as a turning point so you don’t need to drill a hole into the plywood just screw the screw in a little so that the 2X4 will swing around.  I’ve have never done it for just concrete forms so there may be a better way (there is always more than one way to do sometime right).

If you are doing it on a 4X8 foot sheet of plywood and if you transition is going to be 3.5 feet, pick a corner. On the four foot side of that corner measure up 42” and make a mark. Are you going to just make a rib or are you going to use the ply for the whole side, which would need to include the platform depth? Let’s say you are going to include the platform depth of 16”. From that mark of 42” on the 4 foot side, mark for the platform depth of 16” at 16” in on the 8 foot side. 42” in from that spot and 42” up from the edge is where you will screw your screw to swing the 2X4.

I told you it was hard to explain. You’re not gonna hurt the ply wood by screwing a bunch of holes and drawing a bunch of lines till you get one that you like

when i built my QP, i just freehand drew a transition that i thought i'd like.  i used the swinging 2x4 method, but didn't make any holes.  i just used it to give myself a nice arc.  no idea what my trannies are.  can't wait to see pics.

you can also attack a circular saw to a small piece of 1/4 inch plywood at the end of the 2x4, then affix the rig to a table. then you can cut tons of templates.

Finished taking apart the mini, and putting away or burning all the wood, started levelling the ground where it was. Time to do some landscaping to get ready for the next phase of building Chill Park. This is gonna be a huge project...

Same here. But I'm afraid it's gonna be a while before we see any results, since we don't have the money or the man power to get it done right away.

form stuff up and have it ready.... i've noticed at marginal, people tend to pony up dough a lot faster if something is ready to pour.
