Cardboard Telescope Tripod (Legs).  This is part 2 of tripod project for 2017's VBS "Galactic Starveyors".  

Starting at the edge of a 40 inch by 40 inch piece of cardboard I drew 9 straight lines two inches apart from each other.  The first two are dotted and the third is solid, and I repeated this pattern two more times. The length didn't need to be exactly 40 inches, but it worked


I cut the three solid lines and scored the dotted lines.  By "scored" I mean I pressed the short edge of the square all along the line to "dent" the cardboard. This makes it easier to fold.













I folded and creased to make this triangle shaped tube. 


















I hot glued the seem.

I quickly became impatient holding the thing tight as the hot glue cooled so I cut some 2 inch triangles in scrap cardboard to hold it for me, I called them "clamps".












As I glued, I move the clamps along behind the part I had just glued and they held it tight for me.













Now I had the three legs I needed for my tripod.
