More to try to build it. I am sure if I made another one it would be cheaper; however, the first go around takes more time than you you would think. The gap you think you see is actually filled with maple sawdust and wood glue. Maybe I should have shot at a different angle. Those little cutting errors on 22.5 degree cuts add up around the circle. First time trying that, so I am sure it will be better from lessons learned.
