Nailing Down the Arbor Designs (9 a.m. - 11 a.m.) Red Team Activity Journal (9 a.m. - 11 a.m.) - The red team concepts a large arbor with three main pieces, designed to support large vines (such as wisteria).
- With the design in place, the team traces the pattern for the ends of the overhead rafters onto heavy-duty cardboard to use as a template.
- Next, the team transfers the pattern onto the large piece of 2 x 8s (figure A), which will be used as the rafters.
- The team then uses a jig saw to cut the pattern on each rafter's end (figure B).
Blue Team Activity Journal (9 a.m. - 11 a.m.) - After deciding on an abstract design, the Blue Team undertakes the challenge of building an artistic arbor.
- First, the team measures and "rips" the plywood into rectangular pieces using a table saw (figure C).
- A piece of ornamental molding is cut in half for pliability, then used as a guide to trace an arc onto the plywood (figure D).
