I later used some of the quarter inch scrap in multiple layers between our 19 inch radius ceiling/roof. Glued the layers together with Titebond III; clamped with scrap wood screwed between the ribs with wedges jammed in where necessary. I also tried kerfing some pieces, but preferred the layering.

Still Impressed with your cut's and my attempt may still be coming for the same reason! 3/4"


George has done the kerfed insides glued together giving a smooth, both sides finish.
And like's it; In the Foamies :thumbsup:

Last Employer; Closed the wood shop so we had two Table saws one for wood,
One Experimental It made aluminum boats and stuff.
Never sure what the finish wood be :shock:

Picked up 1 extra
4 x 8 x 1.5 pink sheet to attempt to slice twice, most of the way
Having 3 layers .5 ;
less wire diameter to “Hold” the front Radi !

It got sprinkled on, on the way home and stayed really wet until separated :NC

This may only apply to our shop in the woods, but my SOP is to sweep up the saw dust and throw it out for the wind to carry into the forest. The wood dust degrades nicely on its own.




Sweep up your sawdust and save it in a lidded container! Then, you can mix however much you need with some Titebond to make a paste and use as a filler just about anywhere. It works great and, because you only mix what you need whenever you need it, the rest stays good, unlike some of the pre-made fillers that can be purchased in the store. :thumbsup:
