Cardboard Bow Tie
So here are the pics for the prototypes. When I put together the cardboard prototype I came across several flaws and ideas on how to put together the wooden one, which I guess is the idea of a prototype, anyway moving on. The first issue I came across was using the jig saw to cut out the bow ties see through hole. The issue was with the saw but I know to look out for it now. The other issue was the problem of having a recessed bow tie spot. I talked to one of the aides and we came up with several different solutions from chiseling it out to cutting it in half and sanding it down which is what I tried with the cardboard one.
The plan is to cut and plane the pieces tomorrow and glue everything. Then get a large chunk of it done over the weekend and varnish it on tuesday.
It looks good so far. If you cut tomorrow, be sure and sand the inside before gluing. When you glue, you need to wrap string, tape, clamps, or something around it to make sure the joints get enough pressure.
