Rhombicosidodecahedron model from cherry wood
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 3:30 pm
I started making a Rhombicosidodecahedron model from cherry wood, cut out pieces on my CNC machine and made some jigs to hold the pieces to get the bevel angles cut. I assembled the pieces and discovered that very small errors create problems! The triangle pieces seem to be the main culprit, I guess I need to start refining my technique a bit. Cutting the pieces on the CNC machine was the most time consuming, doing the bevels went pretty quick using the jigs, just a lot of repetitive cuts (while making sure not to get bitten by the saw).
I posted some pics in the other forum

along with my questions about making dxfs from the program. I got that all figured out, and had at it.
