Step 7Measure and mark the width of each section
In this step you will draw lines perpendicular to the center line at each section, and measure out the required width of the leather at that section.
Place the carpenter's square so that the long edge is lined up with the center line, and the other edge is lined up with the tick mark for the mouthpiece, and draw a line that is at least half of the width of leather at that position (using the width you calculated in step 3). You can just guestimate, and make sure the line is longer than needed.
Now flip the carpenter's square over and line it up again, and draw a line on the other side of the center line.
Now use either the carpenter's square or the yard stick to measure half of the required width, from the center line, and make a tick mark, and then measure and mark the same distance on the other side of the center line.
For this didge, the required width of the mouthpiece is 111mm, so I will measure 55.5mm on either side of the center line.
Do the above for each remaining section.
