Idea
Martin's niece owns a sandbox in the form of an old boat. Since she got a cabin built upon it to enable a pirate ship theme, the whole thing of course needed a proper ship's wheel!
Build
Since the cabin was made from spruce wood, the ship's wheel was made from the same kind of wood in order to fit. You can get pieces of this at Bauhaus for a reasonable price.
Overall Cut: CNC Router
In order to ensure a proper design, the CNC Router has been used to cut the overall design out of the workpiece:
Preparing the job in Fusion 360
After CNC routing
Tune Edges: Handheld Router
Since the CNC Router has been cutting sharp edges, these needed to get rounded. Using the handheld router for this was the fastest and easiest option:
Before/After
Always secure your workpiece!
Finished edges
Engrave Treasures and Skulls: Laser Cutter
Since this ship wheel is dedicated to be used at a pirate ship, it needs to get some skulls and treasures engraved. Our laser cutter has different options for burning images into wood, which needed to be compared to each other:
It was decided to use the cut treasure (below) and the engraved skull (on top)
