Here is what your floor shape should look like once cut. Now to give it a nice shiny finish.

I like to use MacTac, it's sold at all Home Depot type stores and often used for the bottom of kitchen drawers and cabinets. It comes in many paterns and colors, including this awesome gloss black.

Simply cut a piece that fits from one end of the circle to the other, and S-L-O-W-L-Y remove the back paper and press ont the foamcore making sure to avoid air bubbles.

After the first MacTac is applied, repeat the procedure on the other half of the floor. When that is done you get a gorgeous shiny black reflective floor. Woohoo :D

Let's move on to the table...

Using the same technique as the floor, take a foamcore strip and measure out 14cm. This will be the outer circle and where you will make the cut.

Stick the thumbtack into the center of a piece of foamcore and with your pencil, gently go all the way around to draw a nice perfect circle.

Now measure 12cm and poke a hole for your pencil to stick out to the other side.

Now simply go all the way around again to draw the inner circle. This will help you figure out where the Command Panels are placed.

Take out your Angle Ruler and place it centered with the hole your thumbtack made. Now use your pencil to mark every 15 degrees.

Here is a close up showing the markings at every 15 degrees.

Now use your ruler to draw straight lines between the inner and outer circles. Place your ruler accross to the other side to give you a perfect line by aligning opposite 180 degree notches.

Does that sound confusing? LOL
