Making 3-D Stars

Great project…. job well done

Great project! Just a couple of questions though: In your 3rd photo above, are both pieces glued back together along the long side opposite that cut? Looks to be an angle along the edges not being cut in that photo. What is that angle?

The photo is to show how things are cut using the jig. For details, take a look at the blog link listed in the narrative above. 3-D Star Blog Link

Hello Aggie69

Now I know the utility of your jig

A great work

Thanks for sharing

YESYESYES! I have been looking for AGES to know how to make these things.

Thank you for sharing, Aggie!

Hey Aggie,

What are the angles of the long and short cuts on each triangle that glue to another piece, and the angle of the 3rd medium length that does not glue to another piece?

Thanks!

As the project post states, for a copy of the program for calculating angles and other details, check out my blog.

I thought those short and long length, as well as the angles, would be standard, and wouldn’t change. That’s amazing you made your programs so people could make stars of variable length!

Great job!
