"Thanks BQ & UJ", not he first one I've done with this design, the first involved laminating three pieces of 16mm Pine Plywood together, and Jig Sawing an outside ring for #339, the downside was, it was a fair bit of work, the upside was, the inside cut out was used for #340, so this time I tried a simpler method, involving less work, which was largely achieved, but could probably do with bit more refinement! :-)
