It's planet-building day in the Rockies !!
Normally, I do most of my woodworking projects with hand tools, but today I am going to forsake the coping saw and fire up the shop scroll-saw instead. I would like to see this project through to completion by the second week of March, so the sacrifice of a few electrons will serve to save me a lot of time.
Surprisingly, I was able to knock out all eight planets and the moon in only a little over an hour, including a couple of short Mountain Dew breaks!
Once the "cuttin' was done" I hit the discs with some sanding blocks to even up any residual scroll saw cut marks on the outer edges. After that, all the planets (and moon) received some round-over sanding on the top edges.
Here's a shot of the Solar System, laid out all nice and purty:
Next post - it's paint prep time....
