Step 8Coasters - route out
The coasters are made in almost identical process to the table top itself...just smaller.
One base circle was cut from the thinner 6mm plywood and then one ring was created to become the coaster lip. The ring is a bit more tricky to route then it's big brother was with the circle jig because it doesn't have enough friction to hold it self in place as the router passes by. A little tape does the trick so that you can complete the cut.
The rare earth magnets that I bought were 3/4" by 1/8" thick, so I routed out a small inset for them in the coaster base using just my eye, since that hole was going to get covered up anyway in the next step with the cork coaster pad.
When you lay the magnet down in its pre-cut hole, make sure that you've got the pole facing the right way, we want to attract the north end of the compass, so flip it around until you've got it the right way.
