Please note: Woodworking is an inherently dangerous activity. The non-woodworking techniques described here aren't all that safe, either. Sharp tools, powerful motors, big lumps of wood, chemicals, fumes, etc. can cause you serious bodily injury or even death. These pages are NOT meant as a substitute for instruction by a qualified teacher, just as an illustration of how I do certain things. I take no responsibility for any mishaps you may experience during a fit of inspiration. You've been warned.

When the rocket is near its final shape, I drill the ½” hole for the porthole. Because pre-made dowels are not readily available in bubinga (dark wood), I’ve turned my own to the size I need.
I’ll set the rocket body blank aside until the porthole glue sets, then turn it to its final shape and sand it.
