Shake Table Directions
4.4a
A. The Shake Platform
1. Reinforce the cardboard by covering all four edges with packaging tape or doubling the thickness.
2. Center a hole in each corner of the piece of cardboard 2.5 cm (1 in.) from both edges.
3. Locate the center of the long side of the cardboard by measuring halfway between the two holes you made at
the comers in step 2. Punch a hole at that center point, one inch from the outside edge on one side. Repeat for the
two short sides. Punch a hole in the exact center of the cardboard. You now have a total of eight holes in the
platform.
B. The Shoe Box
1. On one of the two ends of the box that is 30 cm across
(one of the shorter sides), measure 6 cm (about 2.5 in.)
down from the top and mark this point. Draw a straight
line through the point all the way across this end of the
box. Measure 4 cm (about 1.5 in.) in from the right edge
along the line and mark this point. Punch a hole there
with the Phillips screwdriver. Punch another hole in the
center of the box bottom.
Note:
Size of platform should be 5-8 cm
less than box dimensions to allow room
for shaking. Dimensions will vary with
box size.
