I was originally using a spoke shave to remove material from the edges of the layers to get into a bowl shape. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! No. It works but it is REALLY slow. Really, really slow! I was then allowed to use an angle grinder and wow! A not even a couple of hours and the outside was smoothed down and inside was pretty well smooth!

Currently I have been working on finishing the inside so I can continue. But it has been slow. The belt grider our shop has hasn't really worked well. I have been using a Dremel Multi-Max tool with a saw-like attachment and this has made it faster and easier to remove material in difficult spots.
The cardboard porpax is looking fantastic no? Tongue

For the antilabe I have a metal gate handle that I am thinking of using just for simplicity and durabilities sake. Thoughts on this?
Any comments and thoughts on the build would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Eric
