[QUOTE="Bob-s, post: 1709506, member: 38134"] Temporarily, use a plywood piece that is large enough, say 24"x24". Otherwise mark the biscuits in each board and cut them making sure the board is clamped as flat as possible when the biscuit is cut.. Start with the middle board. Screw it to the plywood, making it as tight and flat as possible. There should be enough waste material to screw it so the finished circle has no screw holes. Add the next board on one side which will flatten that board Clamp them temporarily to make a tight seam and screw it to the plywood . It will be tricky to join a bowed board to a flat piece and get it tight together and then screwed flat. Add the next board on the opposite side and screw it. Repeat until all boards are joined with biscuits and screwed to the plywood. The screws through the waste act as clamps for holding the boards tightly together as well as flat while the glue dries. Let the glue dry. Unscrew the boards from the plywood carefully but expect a little bowing after all screws are removed. Use your router sled to make it flat. Cut out the circle. and mount it to the base. My $.02. Note: You might use a piece of plastic in between the plywood and the boards so the glue won't stick them together. Whatever you do I hope it turns out like you want. [/QUOTE]
