I’m making a board game and I need some decagonal disks (flat decagons) on which I can put numbers on the edges. For my prototype, I used some scrap large-ish dowel discs and free cut the decagons from a template on my bandsaw. Not pretty and not scalable. My initial thought is to create a jig similar to a lathe that I can tun 35 degrees and cut each face and then take the decagonal cylinder over to my table saw and cut a whole-lotta disks. I would make the cuts either with my table saw or a router. Is this the right approach? Would the router or table saw be better (each face is around 1/2 to 3/4 inch to allow a number to be placed)? Any good ideas on precise 35 degree rotations? Thanks for any thoughts!!! -- Steven Davis - see me at http://www.playnoevil.com/ and http://www.stelgames.com/ |
