Cobbled Together From Discarded Scrap...and, Boy, Did I Make a Mistake?

Well, heading camping with my family and my extended family this weekend, so will be my last post till next week. The reality is I won't always post everyday anyway. I find I initially do a real good job at blogging and then I get distracted or something. I pledge to do better.

Today I went to Office Max and got the Senna Frame Prints (by M. Davis) printed out. The good thing was I got two copies for about $6.60 a piece, which seems like a good deal. The bad thing is I am uncertain if I can use them since the frame is measuring slightly under the 18" diameter I was told was needed. It could be a few things: the prints, though printed at full-size are measuring small, the measuring device I used at Office Max was off (such things do happen), or that the prints are right and are accounting for the skin. I am trying to find out from the forums at Astromech.net.

I then went to Home Depot to purchase a Roybi Router. I figured since I wasn't planning on doing much routing beyond my droid, that I didn't need something real expensive, not to mention that I already spend over a grand so far. I also looking for the Milescraft Router Guide which would allow me to rout a perfect circle. Home Depot did not have it, so I ended up going to Lowes, and they had both. So I picked them up, along with three bits. Total bill for those was $125.00.

I feel somewhat armed now and ready to tackle the frame next week, pending my plans are correct at least. Every thing is now waiting in my shop, and I am waiting on the parts I ordered.

So cheers for now.
