if the parts don’t come toghether here ,
by the time it magnifies around the circle ,

Do you clamp up to 90 degrees then or just 45 or so? Only reason I ask is that I was going to try 90 degrees but was afraid that the pressure on the glue-up would not be even enough.

usually to 90 ,
then 180 ,
270 ,
360 .



i don’t ‘pressure clamp’ them ,
but use the arm to ’ radius ’ them to the right place ,
then bevel bottom stops (removable later ) ,
to hold them there till glue is set .
you can tap them around until all are in place ,
if you have some slower setting glue .

Thanks David. Like all good ideas. Simple but effective.

Cozmo, don’t feel bad. Ignorance means you just haven’t seen something yet.

Experience is best when its shared.

By the way this jig also works for the Tapezoidal box tops in ‘Vanishing Point’ but you need a triangular blanking piece at the narrow end of the design, when clamping.

Seeing work like this makes me think I need a new tool, namely a better quality, larger brain. If I find one, I will do a review on it. Thanks for sharing your secrets with us.

So simple yet so effective… as are all things once you think them through.
I thank you for sharing your ideas and jigs..
I have a similar set up for hextagonal boards….ie for tumbling block trevits etc.
