I have the bottom 6 glued up and they turned and fit out much, much better than I thought they would. We're gluing up the top 5 tomorrow, leaving one off as this is going to be a cat box. I'll post some pics in a day or two, when done. Each time I cut a side to a pentagon, I put my protractor on it to see how accurate I was cutting. 95% were dead on. A couple I shaved off another hair to bring each angle to 108. I did it each cut as I didn't want to get cumulative errors as I cut. I am super pleased at how it all fits - so far. This whole exercise has ended up as a favor to the father of the girl. The only thing she has done so far is draw and cut out a couple of pentagons on heavy paper. I hear all of you that say "make her do it". She is not my daughter, so I defer to her father. Randy
PS the father just gave me a couple of 4x8 sheets of 3/4" oak plywood that he had cut at Lowes. The cuts are absolutely terrible, like its the same sawblade on their panel cutter that they started with over 25 years ago without replacing or sharpening. Almost criminal from a woodworking point of view. These $90 sheets are splintered back a full inch from the cuts!
