Draw, or take a complete picture of an athlete's figure consisting of three parts: the body, arm and legs. Using a glue-pencil stick the picture to the plywood. Remove the air from the picture. After the glue dries, mark the location of future openings with an awl and drill them with a 2 mm diameter drill bit. Importantly!!! There are three holes in the hand, two holes in the arm and one hole in the leg.

Using a jigsaw, we make three pieces of toys. The second hand and foot should be rounded to the first one. Then make them similarly to the first. As a result, we have five parts of the acrobat. Handle the acrobat with grinding paper.

Use a jigsaw split the bar into two equal parts, 200 millimeters in length. In each of them, mark the hole locations. Each part must have four through holes. Two upper holes for the thread, two lower for screw connection. Drill the hole to a depth of 25 millimeters for the screw, and connect the bar.
