Circles

Above- 2 Minute video showing how to carve a circle with the layout jig method

Below- Step by step instruction using the compass method


Start with a slab of ice
Find the center with a layout jig

Using a layout jig & 2 ice picks, draw on a circle

Using a chainsaw, cut out the circle (stay on the outside of the scribed line)

More cuts will make a better circle (this is easier with a longer bar)

Notice the foam under the carving? This protects your saw

Using a pistol grip sander, sand the entire surface

Using a used piece of sand paper break over the corners
Your finished circle
