Syd's table

My granddaughter asked for this, and here it is. From a movie ,or something, all I got was a photo. Things like this is why I bought tools. Ideas for my grandson for Christmas are still ricocheting around inside my head.

I cheated. I went to the big orange depot and got an 18" pine round .  All the time I saved avoiding a glue up was lost trying to find the exact center. Hairpin legs imported all the way from the Amazon.

I got some stencils from etsy. This went quick,considering I had a lot going on around here. Family reunion here Labor Day. 

I made a template out of corian for the stars. I cut stars on the bandsaw with a 16th for the router to trim off.
I stuck the star to the corian with ds tape and used a 1/4" compression flush trim bit from bits and bits. Router table flush trim scares the crap out of me,this wasn't so bad.

18" tall and round.

She's happy and I am,too.
