Oh boy.. I just kind of winged it XD
Buy foamboard, cut out shapes, and go from there? I built it from the blades upwards.
SO
1) cut out foam board
2) glue the blades/handle parts
3) Cut out the top blade/pie tins area, assemble and fit them together

I did a lot of approximation when I first drew it out. I stuck my hand onto the foam board, and guesstimated how big the handle should be, and then traced plates for the curve and such.

It must have been very delicate though! I wonder if using a mixture of wood and some of the materials you used (like pie plates (lol) ) would make it sturdy, but still light..hmm
