It will really make my day if anyone finds this helpful, I’d love to see a smaller variation from 4” wheels.

I have some beautiful Davis Creek that I have yet to cut into, so I'm interested to see how you go about that AND how you worked that with a 6" cabber. I've gotten pretty big, but I don't think THAT big.

I swore I responded to this!

Seriously thank you for taking the time to put this thread together! I know a lot of people who should be able to get some amazingly useful information out of this!

I wish I could do an inside curve like that...but I just can't do it on the flat lap. I suppose I could break out the dremel and go "old-school" once again!

I have a French curve that would probably work well for the bottom point. Thanks for the idea

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
