Question: Need help with my Theatre Stage Craft class (Drafting)!?
I have read the instructions but I don't want to waste my time nor money trying to do this!. Here are the instructions:

"Construct the step unit shown below in 1 1/2"=1-0 Scale!.
Be sure to pay close attention to the overall dimensions given here (if I was able to I could have posted a picture of the project I would have)!.

Materials: Razor Blade or utility knife, white matt or construction board, an appropriate scale rule,a straight edge, and the glue or adhesive of your choice!.

Joining techniques and where the edges of the matt board is not critical!. The purpose of this assignment is that you demonstrate your ability to read!. You should also attempt to build square!."

My assignment is due on Nov!. 3rd!. I am suppose to get together with a few classmates the weekend before the 3rd but I want to have a backup plan or knowledge just in case the meeting gets cancelled!.Is there a tutorial on dvd or on a website somewhere that can help me out!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's hard to give you any step by step advice without seeing exactly what it is you are trying to build!. My best advice is this - measure twice (or more!), cut once!. You might want to try drawing out the shapes you need to cut out just with regular paper first, then cut them out with scissors so you can visualize how they will go together!. Then make your real measurements on the mat board and cut very carefully!.

Attention to detail is key, which is why first making a mock up that will be easy to cut is a good idea!.

Good luck!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
