I thought about it but I may have burned one of the boards as I was testing the circuits. Plus I can’t figure out how to clamp it. The other issue is that the glue wasn’t holding. Lots of cracks all over the thing. I’d have to do a lot of repairs and then the intricate paint work would have been hosed.

I’m using a plastic welding liquid glue this time. And then 3M structural adhesive on high load areas. That design was never meant to be under the force of gravity. Big stress point where the dish meets the neck.

I’ll be using several types of glue this time. It ain’t never coming apart. It’s very hard to handle. Painting it stresses the joints. It’s a very difficult model.
Stationary belt sander. Handheld belt sander. Oscillating spindle sander. Random orbital sander.

Tablesaw, two drill presses with mortising attachments, planer, bandsaw, router and router table, jointer, lathe (small ), about 120 clamps, various hand tools.

Got a picture of what you have in mind?
