The Woodshop Shed

Radius Dish - 28 Feet

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Finished first radius dish. Used the radius template from the last project to make the 28 foot radius guide rails for the router sled. 3/4” plywood rails were capped with 1/8” plywood to provide a smoother running surface for the sled. The attempt to make a dust collector attachment didn't work out well so the project was moved outside where the 3/4” MDF made a real mess. Drawer pull knobs were used to aid in the spinning of the dish. The surface came out much smoother than expected so minimal sanding will be required.The radius dish will be used to build a slight arch into the tops of ukuleles and someday maybe a guitar or two. The 28 foot radius guide rails will be swapped out for a 15 foot pair to make another dish for assembly of arched backs.
