For your first stave and spline attempt that is quite good Tim.
With the right jigs and a carful approach you can do a lot of things on your table saw.
Your shop class sounds very much like mine in the 60's.
I would have happily traded English and History class for 2 extra hours of shop class.

Shop class was fun. 2 weeks out of the year, the girls and boys swapped classes. The girls spent 2 weeks in the shop (don't know what they did) and the guys spent 2 weeks in Home Ec trying to cook. There was some sorry looking pancakes and pizza dough from the guys that never used a stove before. =) I used an online stave calculator to get the right ID and OD.
I then tried it with a miter gauge in 2D with 3/4" stock before trying to do it in 3D with a tilt blade and long bar stock.
It is more difficult to do in 3D keeping everything square with no tilt or taper.
Also bought a relative zeroing Klein digital angle finder on sale that is supposed to be accurate to +/-0.2 degrees. Did test cuts to compare against the miter gauge.
Should have bought one of those a long time ago.
Learned a few things to improve upon next time.

Funny you mention that. I remember being in Home Ec for a short time but I don't think it was related to shop.
What part of the country were you in then? I was in Michigan at that time.
Clearly every project makes for a new learning experience. Not sure I always remembered them when came around again.

Wisconsin.
Just did a search, the school was built in 1927 and demoed in 1999.
It was 3 stories and a full basement. Shop and other classes were in the basement. Gym floor was in the basement with a running track above on the 1st floor.
