Cutting the bowls to make fish with a Dremel was slow work prone to lots of slips and a recipe for injury. On a test bowl, I tried cutting the plastic with a jigsaw at full speed, and it worked perfectly well so long as the saw shoe stayed in contact with the bowl at all times. The original blue bowl was used as a template to mark all the other blue bowls so they could be cut.
Once the bowls were shaped, they were all given holes at the edges for affixing hinges. These holes, like the shape, was copied from the original bowl as closely as possible. The holes were drilled with an electric hand drill.
The rest of the posts for this project have been arranged by date.
