7. Place a 2nd piece of 3 or 4 inch duct tape over the first, rotated 90 degrees so it would form a cross if both were place flat.
8. As you did in step 4, fold the edges of the tape over the end of the foam.
9. Smooth the overlapping tape over the end of the foam and first layer of tape.
10. The end result of the duct tape should look like photo 11.
More to come.

My kids and I picked up a couple of pop rocket sets at the dollar store. We had some fun launching them at each other. I came home from work the other day and had to climb the tree and get on the roof to get the rockets down. It kinda sucks to be a kid waiting on dad to come home to get your rockets down. So I did what any dad would do. I made some more. Here’s how.
Supplies –
1 inch foam pipe insulation
duct tape
knife or scissors
1. Cut about 1 foot of the 1 inch foam pipe insulation.
2. Cut a 3 or 4 inch piece of duct tape.
3. Place duct tape over the end of the foam. Try to center the tape.
4. Fold the edges of the tape over the end of the foam.
5. Smooth the tape that has been folded over. It should look like this.
6. Smooth the remaining overlap to the contour of the foam.
Next steps in the next post.

tehborken is just another how to site. This site will focus on how to and diy articles. Many of them will be building props for a charity haunted house that is run yearly benefiting Sertoma and the Crete Sokol organizations. But my interests range rather widely and I will also be touching on science, technology, engineering, robotics, pneumatics, electronics, gardening and whatever other shiny objects that grab my attention.
