Ok I have a question, I know what the board layout is supposed to be.
But I've done 5 carvings and I end up with this gab where it starts and finishes.
I am post a picture, it starts on the left and finishes on the right. Now I'm far from being great with math
I saw somewhere to calculate the dowel it would be 2 x 3.14 pi ?
If so that doesn't come out to the current board width as indicated, I got 6.283 etc

Thanks
Jim
