Making an Aspis - Ring Method (Visual Aids)

[Demetrios]

Thanks.
It s a method that saves you wood, above all because the 1st two circles are very similar in dimension.
But I must admit it is a rather long method : you have to force the first thin board into the rim and stick it. The internal diameter is +/1 250 cm long.
So if you want it correctly stuck you have to put a "screw" (I dont' know the word for it) every 2 or 3 cm, and you need about 80 pieces of that kind of tool.
Then you leave it dry for a few hours.

The second part is harder : even if you had about 80 or 100 tools, you couldn't stick the whole external length beacuse after a few cm (10 or so) the wood brakes because of the material fatigue and you have to wait untill one part is dry ans has taken form and place before you continue.
I start in the center of the wooden piece to allow me to go towards both ends and do it quicker.
Nevertheless, if you stick 10 cm on both ends and this twice a day, morning and evening, you progress by max 40 cm a day and you need almost a week to finish.
That s also the reason why I started several pieces at the same time to be able to work on one piece while others are drying.
