degrees with the base
![Page 26: Design and Build Your Model Bridge - Duplin County … and Build Your Model Bridge By: Mr. Chung KHChung@interact.ccsd.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051602/5b01b9b47f8b9a0c028ea9e0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Look down the two ends to make sure the bridge is still
at 90 degrees with the base
![Page 28: Design and Build Your Model Bridge - Duplin County … and Build Your Model Bridge By: Mr. Chung KHChung@interact.ccsd.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051602/5b01b9b47f8b9a0c028ea9e0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 31: Design and Build Your Model Bridge - Duplin County … and Build Your Model Bridge By: Mr. Chung KHChung@interact.ccsd.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051602/5b01b9b47f8b9a0c028ea9e0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sand any extra unwanted wood to reduce the mass of the bridge and you are done.
![Page 32: Design and Build Your Model Bridge - Duplin County … and Build Your Model Bridge By: Mr. Chung KHChung@interact.ccsd.net](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051602/5b01b9b47f8b9a0c028ea9e0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Good Tips
• Try not to use too ƳdzŎƘ glue
• Practice good craftsmanship
• Sand extra weight off
• Be creative
• Make and test as many bridges as possible
• Try out different truss design
• Look around your environment for idea
• Use Elmer's or wood glue (CA glue drƛŜǎ too fast)
