Now measure 12cm and poke a hole for your pencil
to stick out to the other side. |

Now simply go all the way around again to draw the
inner circle. This will help you figure out where
the Command Panels are placed. |

Take out your Angle Ruler and place it centered with
the hole your thumbtack made. Now use your pencil
to mark every 15 degrees. |

Here is a close up showing the markings at every
15 degrees. |

Now use your ruler to draw straight lines between
the inner and outer circles. Place your ruler accross
to the other side to give you a perfect line by aligning
opposite 180 degree notches.
Does that sound confusing? LOL |

Now you can cut the table. Cut the OUTER circle ONLY
!!!
Again, watch out for your fingers when cutting ith
a sharp blade. |

So now you have a circle but not the complete table....yet... |
|
 |
|
|

Take your circle and trace it on another piece of
foamcore and cut that piece like you did the first
circle. |
|
 |
|
|
October 10, 2004
You now have 2 circles. A Top layer (with the angle
markings) and a Lower layer, the one you just cut. |
|
 |
|
|
October 10, 2004
Take the Top Layer and cut into the foamcore stopping
exactly at the edge of the inner circle. This is easily
done with a normal cutting blade. |
|
 |
|
October 10, 2004
For best results cutting out the inner circle, switch
to a smaller V shape blade on your Pen X-Acto knife.
make sure your blade is NEW and VERY sharp to make
a CLEAN cut. You don't want messy edges on the table. |
|
 |
|
October 10, 2004
After a minute or so, the piece is remove from the
Top Layer of the table. |
|
 |
|
October 10, 2004
Now continue removing the rest of the pieces , 12
in all. Make sure to cut out every OTHER notch.
When done, you should have a shape like this... |
|
 |

Can you start to see it coming together? :)
Use your Hot Glue Gun to connect the two layers together.
Make sure to get glue on the edges of every little
extrusion. This is kind of tricky, cause you have
to work fast before the glue starts to cool off. |
|
 |
|

If done correctly, you should have a minimum gap
between the two layers of Foamcore. |
