Few Fun Waves … that’s what it’s all about for me.
From cut blank to smooth finish …. Easily done in 20 mins ?
Mucking around with the nose and tail took some time, and then it was slow and steady with the concaves, so all up it was 3 hours on Friday afternoon / evening / night. Then yesterday morning I checked the concaves and rails, and ended up with another 2 hours of ‘slow and steady’ fine tuning … very careful to only take a small amount of foam … as they say ‘easy to take off, hard to put it back on’ ..
Totally stocked … picked up the ‘forty one’ machine cut blank today!
Looks very much like the AKU shaper file, but, it will need some refinement to get a good “base” design from which I can create various boards.
Things that need a tweak are:
I’ve had this one cut with no bottom contours so I can shape them in myself. I was not sure how mucb to put into the ‘design’ on the computer or how it would then translate to the machine cut.
A major milestone in the evolution of my backyard process today … I’ve sent my first AKU shaper designed board to the machine cutters.
I’m really exciting and nervous at the same time … being the first, I’m not sure how it will turn out, or whether there are any design glitches with my file.
Time will tell.
