The End is Nigh: Deadlands
Prepping the Base
I made a rough outline of the mesa, including the hole for the tea light, on a sheet of MDF. I then cut it out with a jigsaw. For the hole for the tea light I drilled a largish hole in the center and finished the cut with the jigsaw. I then lined up the mesa/cave on the base and traced around it so I have guidelines when it comes time to glue it down. I also redefined some of the edges and re-cut them with a coping saw (which is kinda like a wood saw version of the jewelers saw).
Now it is on to beveling the edges. I started with a rasp and once I have a decent bevel I will smooth it all out with a palm sander in the morning. It’s too late in the evening to run a power tool.
