| I then stuck the hub onto the Master Circle layout to mark the rest of the dashes for the spoke attach points. I would like to thank my three great inspiring Math Teachers in High School - Mr. Swintak, Mr. Balkwill, and overbearing Mr. Gallie (my pet peeve in Gr. 13) who made darn sure you knew your stuff! - OH! the homework ... |

| I then placed the hub in the middle of a small 3/64" drill bit, and blocked up the drill bit ends, and the hub, with little blocks of balsa, and marked two even dash mark locations in black Sharpie Marker, onto the green masking tape templates. |

| The curved cuts on the two printer paper templates were made to match the contour of the hub. The two finalized paper templates were then scotch-taped onto a piece of green marking tape. |

| I cut and recut two templates out of printer paper to use to locate the dashed spoke hole gradient location marks on the wheel hub. Here they are held in place by two tweezers to check the fit to the hub. |
