    Default No such thing as scrap wood just offcuts awaiting a project.....

    My darling wife found me a project to help use up a small stack of my plywood offcuts.

    Great looking do you cut them with a band or scroll saw.

    G’day Peter, I made up the template then scribed the shape onto the ply offcuts then onto the bandsaw.
    Next step was the drill press for the four holes and holesaw for the centre hole.
    I used my small vertical linisher to sand everything
    Lots of repetitive processes, but always good to help my wife with props for the Kindygym program
    Cheers Peter
