Kresty's Starship

[kresty]

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I expected.  We have to cut outside and it was raining all day.  Either that or I was too lazy doing other stuff.  We did manage to get the wood cut last night though!  (Our neighbors may not have been terribly pleased).  


First time doing a big project with the Shaper Origin.  I may have been pushing/rushing it too much &/or otherwise not having much experience with that router, or any router for that matter.  Some of the edges ended up a bit rougher than I'd've liked.  Hopefully not too bad though.

The pattern it left behind on the spoil board was pretty cool too:

We ended up with a pile of parts.

It was getting late, but I was curious if the parts were close, so I did a cursory fit test.  It's upside down since there's nothing holding it together.

Since then I've started cutting some of the translucent panels, but we still need to clean up the boards before we can assemble the stand. The 45 degree boards need 45 degree edges.  I so happen to have a 90 degree router bit sitting on my desk, so I'll see if I can get that to work.  The edges need a tiny bit of sanding, and maybe some putty where I was a little over-aggressive with the tool, but I don't think it'll take much.
