Using a nail, string, as well as a pencil (above picture), describe the ii circles centered width-wise.
For the locomote past times circle drive the blast at 9" from the top, with a 4" radius.
Center the lower circle at 12" from the lower edge. The radius for this circle is 6".

Sand all the pieces, legs, braces, as well as plywood, particularly the cut-out circle areas.

Paint Colors: Behr Mown Grass & Agave Plant
The adjacent measuring is to stain it and/or pigment it, I did both. Legs as well as braces were stained.
The plywood slice was get-go primed as well as painted white. 
For the design, I went for a classic greenish striped field, I idea virtually adding a squad logo, but my household unit of measurement couldn't concur on which i to use. Easier for me. ;)

 Once the white pigment dried, pieces of record were added across the board - from each cease at the 9" grade as well as then, every 6"
I used expose stickers to describe to a greater extent than interest.
Each surface area was painted an alternating nighttime as well as calorie-free green.
Ryobi 18-Gauge cordless Brad Nailer
ASSEMBLING:
I mounted the plywood slice on ii of the legs, using screws at the locomote past times as well as lower business office of the "field".
Since I didn't desire screws showing, I glued both surfaces, as well as drove brad nails on the white lines.

The locomote past times as well as lower braces were nailed inward identify at the real locomote past times as well as bottom of the board.
Two Hinges
The other ready of legs as well as braces were attached with screws. Hinges grip both pieces together.



But hey, hither is the twist I gave this project, because who doesn't desire a chalkboard sign to a greater extent than or less the house. :)

 Using a router, I did rabbet cuts amongst the duet pieces, that created the perfect piddling ledge to secure some other ¼" plywood aka chalkboard.
