When your design has been sufficiently exposed

Recently, we ran a piece questioning why it is so difficult to find Iowa Hawkeye-themed duct tape, and in the comments, some enterprising readers pointed out that rolls are available in certain locations. But that did not put our minds to rest. What if HaWkMoM_64 sells all of her stock on eBay? What if you can't make it in person to Iowa Book & Supply? In that case you would be composite hose. So to plan for that terrible eventuality, we hereby present our first ever BHGP Instructable:Find a current Hawkeye duct tape design and rip it off shamelessly, or design your own! Maybe you want to make the first duct tape with Tim Dwight's bald head on it, or Hayden Fry's aviator glasses. This is your chance to be creative, but be forewarned: using the words Iowa, Hawkeyes, Hawks, or the likenesses of any players living or dead will likely land you in hot water, legally speaking.

Whatever you decide on for your design, remember it must be no more than 1.87" tall. Draw it carefully or print it out on your construction paper in black and white.Remove the glass from the small picture frame and wrap the scrap of fabric around the frame until it is taut. Affix the fabric to the front of the frame with a staple gun. Coat the screen on the back of the frame with emulsion from the photo emulsion kit, then allow to dry in a dark room for five minutes. When dry, place your design directly underneath the screen and expose to a strong UV light source a light table would be ideal, but a sunny day works fine too.

When your design has been sufficiently exposed, rinse it off with water. The drawn parts should wash away, leaving you with a stencil, ready to print!Take your 98 feet of 2x4 lumber and join end to end using your favorite joinery technique. Attach 2x4 legs every six feet to the wide part of the boards. You will now have a 98'-long structure that resembles a train bridge or a Roman aqueduct. Use your router to route out a Flexible hose channel throughout the structure.If you plan on using the workstation again, you should strongly consider applying a few coats of polyurethane finish. For maximum efficiency, sand the channel with 120 grit sand paper and then apply finishing wax.
