Procedure

Select a 2ft x 4ft sheet of plywood and 20 ft of 2in x 4in wood
Cut two 2x4's to the long length of the plywood using either a chop saw, or a hand saw.
Line up the two cut boards on either side of the ply wood making sure they are flush at were they connect
measure the distance between the inside of the two boards holding a tape measure to the bottom of the plywood, not the top of the 2x4's
cut the boards to the appropriate lengths
put a continuous bead of glue on the 2 inch side of a long 2x4 and attach it to the plywood making sure it is flush, then clamp it on securely.
flip the board over and put at least 6 screws into the plywood along the length of the 2x4
Repeat step 7 with the other long 2x4 and then with the shorter 2x4s
put 2 screws into the end of each of the long 2x4s to connect all of the 2x4s into a box
Get 2 2x4s that are each at least 18 inches in length
put a 2x4 on the inside of the box and put them flush with its long side flush with the long side of the box
measure 4 inches from the end of the board and find the center of the 2x4
put a piece of scrap wood behind the 2x4 and drill through the mark in the center of the 2x4, make sure that the drill bit is parallel to the ground
take the 2x4 away and get a compass. use the compass to make a curve with the center being about 1/2 inch away from the hole
Use a band saw to cut the curve and then sand the rough edges
repeat steps 11-15 with the adjacent side of the box
put a bolt through the hole and into the 2x4 making sure to put a washer in between the box and the 2x4
fasten the bolt with a washer, a cut washer and then a nut.
put a chalk line at the end of the box were the legs are not and extend it the the other side
use the chalk line and a square to make sure that the legs are 12 inches off the ground
take the legs off and cut them along the chalk line with a chop saw. then put them back on.
Using either a 6in hole cutting drill bit or a drill press, make a six inch hole 9 in ches from the top and 12 from the sides of the board.
get wood filler and a putty knife and fill in any holes, including the screw holes with putty to make the surface constant, it is ok it the putty is higher than the board
sand the entire surface of the board so it is smooth
prime the board after taking the legs off using a brush
hang the legs and cover them in primer completely
After everything dries, attach the legs and stand it up
paint with any design desired

Things I learned during this project

During this project I learned how to help teach other people how to use various tools.
I learned how to use Wood putty and a sander to make a rough surface into a smooth one.
I learned to wait in lines for tools such as a chop saw.

Statistics show that in the U.S., there are about 38 million licensed drivers over age 65; about 1/8 of our population. By 2024, this figure will DOUBLE to 25%.

If drivers do not bring enough money in, they will be fired: The owner wants money, and not just money, a lot of money. The driver too is in the same condition, he wants money, so it's a 50–50 thing and that may lead to road accidents (Matatu driver 8). A handful of the drivers were salaried, but most were paid based on the number of passengers.
