How to Build a Wedge, RSA Workshop
- Materials Used:
- Cardboard- 36" by 48"
- Foam- 1/4" by 32" by 18"
- Fabric or vinyl tablecloth for cover-- 52" by 60"
- Tape- e.g. duct or strapping
- Box Cutter type knife
- Directions:
- Cut 18" off the long side of the cardboard giving two rectangles (a) 36" by 30" and (b) 36" by 18".
- Cut the remaining large piece of cardboard (a) in half to get two pieces 18" by 30"
- From the 30" side of (a1 and a2) make a light cut 6" from the edge.
This cut should not go all the way through, it should just make it
bend easier.
- The section remaining (b) is 18" by 36". This will be used to make triangular braces.
- Cut the long side of (b) at 13".
- Divide the section (b1) into 3 portions measuring 6" by 23".
- Discard the small rectangle (b2).
- Divide these three rectangles in half making 6 triangles measuring
6" by 23".
- Putting it together:
- Take the two large rectangles and bend them to form the wedge shape.
- Place one on top and the other on the bottom.
- Tape the 6" bends together.
- The bottom piece will need to have 1" cut off to make the edges
match evenly.
- Place the 4 triangular braces inside the wedge to give it support,
using tape to hold the pieces upright.
- Place the remaining 2 triangular pieces on the ends of the wedge
and tape to hold them in place.
- Tape all sides firmly together.
- Cover top and front of the wedge with foam, taping it in place.
- Cover the whole wedge with plastic or fabric and tape it in place.
