It was a struggle

I cringe just thinking about the delicacy involved with sanding this thing.  :)  Nicely cut!!!

 

My first impression was "drill a hole in the center, and make a numberless clock".  A couple of elegant silver hands, and this would be a VERY nice timepiece.

fun Idea. It is for my son and I will suggest that clock idea to  him. He might just like that. It is maybe a little too small for most clocks though. Only about 8 inches across

Wow, Dick! You did a fantastic job on that. All those smooth cuts have to be pretty precise or they would stand out like a sore thumb. Everything looks smooth and even. I'm sure with some of those thinner pieces it could be very fragile. Again, excellent job!

 I use 1/4 inch BB Ply as I was out of my  1/8 inch. So it is thicker as I really wanted it to be. It is an interesting pattern and fairly easy to cut as there really are  no aggressive circular angles to deal with. It would not be a pattern that would interest me personally but I think my son will like it a lot.

How long did it take you to reassemble your brain after cutting?  That looks like a mind bending project.  Well done!

The really difficult time was trying to figure out what the proper size of each layer to be cut. I looked at the finished project and had to guess as which out side layer was actually the right layer I thought it to be. I think I was very close on at least most of them but not truly accurate. Had my computer accepted the actual pattern, as it should have done. It would have come together much easier and more accurate than it did

Nice, Dick!  The one I did still sits on the shelf unfinished,,,, A waste of BB for me.. Shame on me.

Not sure why you said it was a waste of BB for you and also why you did not finish it. It has to be a really simple pattern for you to cut. I know, I have seen many of your amazing projects and just sat there with my mouth wide open in amazement. Maybe the subject manner of the project was just not to you taste.

Looks nice Dick, especially if you were working with screenshots. I think it’s even harder to cut and work on a project when it is something that doesn’t necessarily appeal to us, even if we know it will to the recipient.

 That is exactly one of my worst hangups. I tend to judge things through my own mind, as whether it is appealing to me or not and pass up a lot of opportunity to reach out to others who just might  enjoy having one. I guess I am a little thick headed. I tell myself it is because I am old and a little  cantankerous.  My wife is disagrees with the  'little' part in the last sentence.

You know me, I sometimes start a big project and lose interest before finishing..  It had 8 layers.  I cut them all out and decided after the first four layer the last four really did not do much for the overall project... It is on my "someday I might finish" shelf along with my wooden gear clock.. and some others.  Yours looks great.
