Transfering your measurementsto your dummy is a little tricky. Mostly because it's hard to find a
log that is exactly 9 inches in diameter.

First: make a center line. I did this by laying a long straight edge along the
bodywhile it was on my saw horses.
Straight Center Line

Second: Find the center point. Measure the circumference of your body.
I was lucky and it came out to be 28". Divide your measurement by 4 tocome
up with quater marks. For example: 28 divided by 4 is 7. so I made a mark every
7 inches around the body. I then connected the dots. Where the lines intersect
is the center point.

Third: Find the angles of your arms. Make a protractor out scrap 1x2s. Draw a center line down the
center of each arm of the protractor. Attache the protractor to your dummybody at the center point.
When i made my protractor I just used a long enough screw to go through the protractor and into the
dummy center point.
Mark how long your dummy arms will be
and adjustthe distance between the
arms until they are the desired distance
apart.

These marks should be equal

Extend the marks down the length of the wooden dummy body. When you
transfer the markks for your arm holes make sure that you center the top
arm...
