Carving and finishing
- Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
- The hanging hole, then cut out both stars with their slots.
- Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
- Before gluing, dry-fit everything. If a joint is too tight, increase the clearance by 0.05 mm and carve the part again; if it wobbles, reduce it.
Assembly and final touches
- Slide the star with the slot from the top over the star with the slot from the bottom until the centres are flush. A drop of glue holds it permanently.
- Paint it or decorate it with imitation gold leaf and hang it on a thread through the hole.
