The Homasote roadbed for the staging drawer (like the drawer itself) was formed from one sheet of material. The Homasote sheet required seven cuts; two for the right end and five for the left. This photo shows the process for the last cut listed below.
Right end:
- One eight foot straight cut 22 1/2quot; wide
- One thirty degree cut at one end of the above to match the right end of the drawer.
Left end
- Two cuts to match the aisle side of the drawer (a 12 degree dogleg)
- One thirty degree cut to match the left end of the drawer
- One cut along the wall side to match the back side of the dogleg
- A final cut to meet the end of the right side sheet.
