"So we have this line and what we want to do is trace it so we can get the same line on that side. So we can make points here. So what we are going to do we are going to do the same thing. We are going to find the little box. Like I said this is going to get real confusing. So this is going to take practice. But drawing like anything, you know. You can learn how to draw. You just have to practice. You do not necessarily be talented at it you know. You can just train yourself. And once you have trained yourself, your possibilities are endless. You can just draw, draw, draw. Draw all these lines. That's kind of hard to see what we are doing, but basically notice how all of these points are almost intersecting exactly. That is how we know we are drawing a very accurate drawing. So make sure it is nice and parallel. All right then. You can ex this out and do another one, but I am not going to do it. I am going to just go with what we got. So we got this line here and this line here. Here is a point. And now we have to find the same point on this side. So run it parallel until we run to the other point. So that it is running right here. So bingo. Here is the other point. We can do it right here. We will do another point. Until it runs into the other point back here. Let me see. We can just do another box if you wanted to. Remember we have got, here is the starting point. Here is the ending point. And it has to cross this guy right here. So we have to remember that."
