Playhouse Rocketship - Part 2

I was almost out of time after making up the bandsaw circle cutting jig.

I unclamped all the blanks I had glued up for the rocket motors, used a chisel to remove the excess glue and then used a belt sander to clean them up a little. Next I used the sliding miter saw to cross cut one edge straight, measured over for the center hole and drilled it for a finish nail to use the with circle cutting jig.

Lastly, over to the bandsaw to cut the circle. They'll still need a bit of sanding on the edges, I'll use the oscillating spindle sander for that. I got about half of them done. Here's one - there's one more smaller circle to go on top.


Caution - Bandsaws Bite!
