Mark an "X" on one face of the 1/2-inch plywood using the chalk line. Hold the end of the chalk line at one corner and stretch it to the opposite diagonal corner. Snap the line and repeat with the remaining two corners.

Measure and mark 1-inch and 4-inch from each corner towards the center. Place the tape measure along the "X" you created to find a straight measurement.
