| − | #Take one of the 16-inch pieces of wood. Estimate where your bolt will pass through by using a ruler. Measure the width of your piece of wood and locate the exact middle. Keep in mind that a 2x4 is not actually {{convert|2|in|cm|1}} by {{convert|4|in|cm|1}}. Your midway point (middle of the wood) should be close to 1 ¾ inches. (To make things clear, let us say that the middle of the width is 1 3/4 inches.) | + | #Take one of the 16-inch pieces of wood. Estimate where your bolt will pass through by using a ruler.

#Place the ruler at the end of your wood and measure 1 3/4 inches (or whatever the length to the middle of the board was in the previous step.) Make a mark indicating this measurement. From that mark, draw a line going across the width of the wood. Extend your previous mark so that both lines form a ‘t’ and are perpendicular to one another.<ref>http://www.cornholehowto.com/build-them-boards/how-to-build/</ref> | #Place the ruler at the end of your wood and measure 1 3/4 inches (or whatever the length to the middle of the board was in the previous step.)

#Take your drawing compass (or homemade drawing compass) and place the point directly in the center of the ‘t’ you have just made. Draw a half circle with the curve starting on the side of the board, arching up to the top of the board, and then arching back down to the other side of the board. | #Take your drawing compass (or homemade drawing compass) and place the point directly in the center of the ‘t’ you have just made.
