I also added a ~1/16" chamfer to all exposed edges. The plans called for a
1/4" chamfer only on the base and I thought that repeating the chamfer would
be a good way to soften all the edges. I like the look.


I think the 1/16" chamfer is a good idea.


You know, if you look closely at the picture at the site I linked to, it looks
like they did a chamfer on the board section just like I did. I didn't notice
it before, and they didn't mention it in the plans, so I'm still claiming
the idea as my own. ;-)

I still need to add the brass pivoting rod to the base and epoxy in the
earth magnets. I gotta tell ya, testing fitting the earth magnets was
quite the adventure. I almost had to keep the base and the board on
opposite sides of the shop. ;-)


;-) Make sure you get them in the right direction! ;-)


Maybe I'll reverse them and let the board float above the base. Of course,
that might make it hard to get into the shipping box.


Great idea! If the top half of the sandwich is levitating, it could cut
down on shipping costs! ;-)
