    Wasted a bit of time on the the previous thin star.

    Realised the wider star holds more fruit.

    Use of digital protractor trying step up my game with accuracy:

    Using the table fence to trap the protractor between the fence and blade
    And using some mdf to hold the protractor up:

    102.5° = 12.5° on the saw table. (subtracting 90°) as instructed in another thread.

    And again 133° = 43° on the saw table. (subtracting 90°) as instructed in another thread.

    Gluing the left and right segments of each of the 5 points together now.

    Then I'll glue the first 4 points together.

    Then probably the last point will need a lot of sanding to fit all together.
    Else another prototype with angles adjusted.
