Also: sandpaper (grit 120 and 240), a utility knife or fine saw and, for joints, a rubber mallet.

Carving and finishing

  1. Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
  2. Engraving and ring holes, then cut out the gauges. For the small set use the 1.5 mm end mill and mill slowly so the concave radii stay accurate.
  3. Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
  4. Only deburr the edges, do not sand them, otherwise the radii are no longer correct.

Assembly and final touches

  1. Hold a gauge against the edge and look against the light: if the radius fits, no gap is visible. Thread the gauges onto a key ring.
