Wood Olympic rings

For Fun, Projects

This project was really just a challenge to myself. I found this picture and after studying it a long time and thinking it over, I posed the question on Facebook. “How would you make this?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s one of those projects that looks simple at first, but upon closer inspection has a number of problems: cutting the circles identical and even. Then there are the notches. I thought a while about making half-lap joints but quickly came to my senses. I’m not sure if that would even be possible!

Eventually, I worked it all out. It was a really interesting challenge. And if you ever have a need to cut identical rings, the jig I made for this works really nicely.
