Lay the ruler perpendicular to your sanded board, and using the Centre Finder found in the middle of the ruler, locate the center of the board and pencil a mark through the diamond shaped holes. Repeat this in 3 places along the length of the board.
Using the ruler as a straightedge, pencil a light line to connect the diamond marks.
(Proceed to drawing the template if board is to be trimmed out at this point.)
Line up the ruler so that the line shows in the diamond cutouts and mark your first set of truck holes using the baseplate template.
Without lifting the ruler, use the edge ruler to measure to the desired wheelbase and mark the second set of truck holes, the holes are spaced correctly for you.
Do not drill truck holes through this ruler, use your pencil marks instead.
