Medieval Keep from Blue Board, Finished at last!

[anton ryzbak]

I have tons of this stuff laying around my house and I keep turning it into stuff   https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2018/08/a-little-side-project.html



After doing nothing for a week I finally took a bit of time and finished this project

Anton,

Whose vid did you watch on making circles? Just curious.
I have a Proxxon as well as I watch many YT channels on the topic of people that use them.

On your choice for wood glue. Why that brand? You have a reason or just ththe one you pipivkef off the shelf?

And why wood glue for blue foam and not pva?

      I can't say where I saw the video, I was channel-hopping through YouTube and the guy was showing off a complicated circle-cutting jig that he had made for his Proxxon that was adjustable and at the end he said "But for a quick job I just do this" and he pushed an old-fashioned flat-head thumbtack through the sticky side of some masking tape and stuck it down on the work surfaces so that the point was up, he then dropped a chunk of foam on the point and spun it around, Bingo! perfect circle.

I use Titebond because it was the wood-glue my Grandad always used, stronger and stiffer than white PVA. I lightly sand most of my blueboard surfaces with 60grit sandpaper to give the surface some texture, this causes the glue to hold better and dry faster.
