Before you start construction be sure to read understand and follow all the
safety instructions that come with your power tools.
First read and follow the ground preparation section of your plans.
Then you can begin your transitions
Two transitions are cut from one sheet of plywood and it should look like this.
scribe twenty inch line on a sheet of half-inch plywood using a two-by-four as
a guide
on this line measure sixteen inches from the edge of the plywood and place a mark
there
next measure six feet up from the line and mark the axis point with the spike
or a screwdriver if you're doing this on soil
tie one end of the string to a spike and the other end of the string to a pencil
or marker
the pencil should touch the twenty inch baseline when pulled tight
scribe the transition line by holding the pencil vertical and the string tight
this is one of the most important steps of building your ramp
be sure that the curve you draw is smooth
scribe another line in the opposite corner from the first just as you did in
step one
with the plywood raised from the ground, cut out the transition. Be careful not to cut over the curved line.
Flip the newly cut transition over
diagonally and tracedthe curved line using the first transition
as a template
Cut out the second sheet of plywood and discard the surfboard section. On the second sheet of half-inch plywood
cut out two more transitions using the first transition as a guide
using the first transition ensures a more accurate duplication
line up the four transitions and drive in three screws to hold them together
along the transition edge mark the positions of the two-by-fours
be sure each transition is marked
remove the screws and lay the transitions on the ground in two groups
and eight feet apart from each other
have an assistant hold up the unattached and until screws can support it
attach the studs to the transition using three inch screws
to screws at each end of the stud
