Joe,

The bendable stick is a piece of 1/8″ scrap Plexiglas that you can find at your local Plastics store.

The idea here is that the measuring tools don’t need to be anything fancy. Three different sized tin cans, one piece of poly, couple finishing nails and a piece of scrap Plexiglas.

To practice tin can geometry look around the house and pick a bunch of different geometric shapes out of the recycle bin. The begin to use these objects to lay out your own table pattern.

As a reminder practice is very important and remember to go with the flow there is no right or wrong way of do the layout process.

Thanks, Rick
