Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! - My attempt of cutting a base.


Well, I did start on the base today. It was a hugh learning curve. Bought two C-clamps from Lowes. Should have most of the tools I need. I think I can bum the rest off my dad. :-)

Huge....did I say huge? Huge learning curve today. If I ever routed anything it was 20 years ago in high school and I don't think I ever work with the circular tool attachment. Thought I could trust the measurements on it, but I couldn't.

Routed it twice and got close to an 18 inch diameter on one base. Took me a hour to accomplish. Again wasn't real sure what I was doing.

So tonight I brought the base piece I had cut out and measured it 18" across all over the place so I could see where I needs to shave off. Then I measured for the top as well. Hope to have pieces cut out by tomorrow.
