_ Fix plywood with clamps and cut out the transferred shape with your saw
_ Cut out paper template (inner line) and transfer it onto the cut out plywood piece
_ Use rasp and file for the flattenings (S = steep/F = flat)
_ Finish with rough and fine sandpaper
_ Put on priming, let dry and sand with very fine paper
_ Paint your boomerang. done!

Throwing:

_ Pay attention to other persons. Never throw in the direction of persons!
_ Hold the boomerang with your index finger and thumb
_ The other end of the boomerang shows forward
_ Throwing angle should be about 10-20 degrees
_ While throwing (a bit upwards) the wrist should flap forward
_ With wind: throw against the wind, about 30-45 degrees sideways

Throw. Practice. Throw. Correct. Throw. Fun
