Reconstruction of the
Boreham Wood 1-07-2017 formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed heptagon (regular 7-sided polygon) of circle 3, pointing down.

5. Construct the circumscribed circle of heptagon 4.

6. Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the mid-point of the upper righthand side of hexagon 2.

7. Draw the connecting line between the lefthand and righthand intersections of hexagon 2 and heptagon 4, both second from the top, as shown.

8. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of lines 6 and 7.

9. Construct the inscribed heptagon of circle 8, pointing to the right.

10. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 6 and heptagon 9.

11. Construct the inscribed heptagon of circle 10, pointing down.

12. Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of heptagon 11, passing through its rightmost angular point.

13. Copy circle 12 six times, to the other angular points of heptagon 11.

14. Draw the connecting line between the lower lefthand and righthand innermost mutual intersections of circles 13, as shown.

15. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 14.

16. Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 15, pointing up.

17. Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the upper righthand angular point of heptagon 11.

18. Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 15 and line 17, tangent to line 6.

19. Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 1.

20. Copy circle 18 another three times, to the upper lefthand and righthand, and to the lower angular points of hexagon 16.

21. Construct three pairs of parallel lines, all tangent to circle 19, and each tangent to one of the circles 20, all at both sides, as shown.

22. Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 18 and its upper intersection with line 17.

23. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 22.

24. Copy circle 22 to the upper intersection of circle 12 and the vertical centerline.

25. Construct a circle concentric to circle 12, tangent to circle 24 at the upper side.

26. Copy circle 25 six times, to the centers of circles 13.

27. Copy circle 22 to the lower intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline.

28. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 27 at the lower side.

29. Circles 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 13, 23, 25, 26, and 28, hexagon 16, and lines 21, are used for the final reconstruction.

30. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
