This is part 4 of the mini basketball court project. This part will be the end of construction on the stand that will hold up the backboard.
Materials:
one 1/8 inch square dowel stick cut in half (or a 1/8 inch rectangle dowel)
x-acto knife
duck tape (color of your choice)
clear gel glue
2 inch square piece of Styrofoam
1 inch square piece of 1/4 inch thick balsa wood
silver sharpie
backboards from steps 1 & 2
top of stand from step 3
two 3/16 inch NBA logos printed on paper (optional)
Estimated time: 10-15 minutes (not counting the time it takes for everything to fully dry)
two 3/16 inch NBA logos printed on paper (optional)
Estimated time: 10-15 minutes (not counting the time it takes for everything to fully dry)
Instructions:
1. cut two 3/8 inch squares and two 1inch by 3/8 inch rectangles out of the foam. Then take the squares and make them a U shape by cutting out the middle. Next take the rectangles and hollow them out from top to bottom on the backside.
2. Glue the U shapes to the back of the rectangles lining up the hollowed out sections. Then shape the rectangles as shown in the picture below. (they should look somewhat like a really elongated hexagon)

3. Cut two 1 1/8 pieces off the dowel and two 7/16 inch pieces. Then color them with the silver sharpie.
4. Once the foam pieces have dried cover them on all sides with duck tape. Then place the colored dowel pieces into the back of the foam with the longer pieces going in first lengthwise and the smaller pieces in the base laying down.
5. Next cut the 1 inch square piece of balsa wood in half.
6. Glue the balsa wood to the base of each piece.
7. Glue the top of the stand from step 3 to the top of the foam base.
8. Finally glue the backboard to the top of the stand.
9. If you want the to add the NBA logo to the backboards print and cut them out then glue them to the left side of each backboard.
