So a little follow up from a post i put in @Chris152 thread making a small cube style shrinking/shaping stump from ply
But this time i thought i'd do a get out of jail one from chipboard,i had to replace some flooring so thought,why not
Cut 8 bits 150mmx150mm
dont have to be spot on,stack them up like that screwed and glued together
choice of glue
Clamped and leave for ever how long for it to dry(mine was about 2hrs)
Once dry hit the uneven sides with a sander of your choice,i did this with the belt sander 60grit
Then with the weapon of whatever you've got start your dishing so to speak,i used one of those chainsaw on a disc kind of thing,tbh i hate the damn thing lucky enough grinder is variable control so stuck it on slowest speed,and yes no guard because it wont fit otherwise
other tools for shaping,then a bit or elbow grease and some 80 grit to give final touches etc
That was a few mins slapping you'll find the edges of the chipboard are a lot harder than you think
Nice and light to,just over a kilo in fact and sits on the bench good enough also fits in a big enough vice
I'll slap a good few coats of varnish on it just to seal it etc
Overall without drying time took about 45mins to do,i made one like this using ply which was much better IMO
