Marking and Drilling Parts
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.
Sawing Parts
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.
The Making of Horizontal Bar
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.
Fitting an Athlete's Figure
Paint the details of the athlete. Connect the parts using copper wire and cardboard washer.
How to Make Everything Right?
Combine with a nylon thread Horizontal Bar and an athlete's figure. Adjust the thread tension and thread it. Click on the bottom of the bars and have fun.
