| Brace Marking Template |
| This is an idea I borrowed from Charlie Hoffman. It is quite labor intensive to measure and plot all brace locations accurately. This simple tool satisfies the need to accurately and quickly lay out a top or back for brace placement. Thanks Charlie for sharing! |
| This is a sheet of plexiglass, with the braces laid out using a Sharpie marker. At the intersections you will drill 1/8 inch holes. On the side of the line where your braces go, simply place an x to mark the spot. Using the top and bottom center holes for alignment to the top, mark each hole or intersection using a pencil. |
| Above you see the 1/8th inch drilled marking holes of the template. Also notice the x marking brace location or a double line to indicate brace sides. |
