    Radius dish is traditionally routed in MDF. To make that would require building a track with smooth radius then making then making tons of passes and even more dust. I sold all my tools and hopped a 1-way plane to paradise so I did it a little different.

    Most of it is self explanatory. I used various common sized material to make spacers then “calculated” where to place them using CAD (since I have my work computer at home.) I later out the blocks and epoxied them down, then gave them a touch of silicon to bond to the MDF and hold them in place in case they split. Finally I screwed down the top, starting at the center of course.

    I just did one because I’ve never done this and wanted to see if I would learn something to do different for the next one. But I will do it exactly the same.

    (Sorry for the sideways pics!)
