    Requirements
    • A piece of plywood or MDF of 10/12mm thickness
    • Wooden bowls ( generally found in a hobby shop). These are used for necklace making. They are predrilled,just find nails which have same size of holes.



    • Glue and paint


    STEP 1



    With a jig saw cut the desired round shape. Now divide the circle into portions ( which depends on trim wheel size). With a router or with a file make notches at the same size of the wooden bowls.


    STEP 2



    Drill holes for the nails, so plywood or MDF will not split and of course add glue and nail it in place.


    STEP 3




    Fill the gaps with a wood filler

    STEP 4





    Now apply primer and paint.


    RESULT


    And there you go.
