I got a few pieces cut out in class, but did not get to use the drill press so I used a jeweler's saw to cut the circles, then I sanded their edges. I found that much of what I had learned in jewelry classes proved useful for this project.
All of the pieces cut and their edges sanded before assembly.
Assembly process:
It was tricky to glue so many sides together at the same time to finish the piece because the weld-on evaporates quick and drips everywhere, but in the end I think it made the piece more structurally sound. It also prevented the problem of having all of the pieces fit together fine except for the last. There were little sections here and there that were not secured but adding more weld on with the needle bottle wasn't difficult.
