so how did you get on with your star tray?

Wasted a bit of time on the the previous thin star.

Realised the wider star holds more fruit.

Use of digital protractor trying step up my game with accuracy:

Using the table fence to trap the protractor between the fence and blade
And using some mdf to hold the protractor up:

102.5° = 12.5° on the saw table. (subtracting 90°) as instructed in another thread.

And again 133° = 43° on the saw table. (subtracting 90°) as instructed in another thread.

Gluing the left and right segments of each of the 5 points together now.

Then I'll glue the first 4 points together.

Then probably the last point will need a lot of sanding to fit all together.
Else another prototype with angles adjusted.
