Last month I asked about a project, but I figured I should do some small projects before I start carving into a $70 piece of plywood.

So my first project a stand for my Black Tip. After four attempts and purchasing a circle jig, I finally have my template. After I clean up the saddle time to cut into my hardwood that I will be using for the final product.

Right on!

Nice work.
 
Cut my template into the hardwood I was using, much harder than plywood. Even routed the edges, now just have to sand it ready for painting, assemble it, and paint it.

Painted

Didn't quite come out the way I wanted. Wanted to do the more WW2 green and yellow, but with the company that used to make spray paint for vintage military restorations discontinuing the line I had to go with Rustoleum and the green I got was more darker gray green so I went with a black star instead.

Now just have to do the clear top coat and it is ready to use.
