Using the Joggle Stick

Today, we learned how to construct a stand for a boat to sit up in perfectly. Our purpose was to have the boats CHAD students built last year be even enough so when Santa Claus come sit in the boat, it won't rock or fall over. We used this "ancient tool" called a joggle stick which is 10X easier to use than a basic ruler or measuring. Once we had our points taken down we used a clear bendable tool to create the crescent shape of our boat. We cut off the excess wood and tested to see if it was a perfect fit.
