Steps

Begin the process with cutting the plywood in a circle, approx 5 feet in diameter. Now you require drilling two holes in the board, one in the center for accommodating the bolt. The other you require drilling in the side, approximately 6 to 8 inches from the center hole. This is done for accommodating the hose that will force air into the device. You do not require sanding the edges. This is due to the fact that the tarp will comfortably cover the edges.

Now you require laying out the plastic or tarp on flat surface. Follow with laying the plywood on the top of the plastic and cutting around the board, approximately 3 to 5 inches for overlapping. Now with the use of the duct tape, thoroughly tape the plastic to the plywood.

In the next step you require cutting a small ½ inch circle for slipping the bolt through.

Follow with piercing a hole in the center of the coffee can lid with the use of a knife.

Follow with forcing the bolt through the hole and placing the coffee can lid through the hole in the center of the hoverboard. Ensure attaching it using the nut.

In the next step you require inserting the flexible hose through the inlet hole. Attach with duct tape. Finally turn on the leaf blower!
