Since you seem to be a router hound (me too), what are you using to make your rounded edges? I had to use a round over bit on some pieces and use it as a template, but curious to know what your solution is? |

I'll set the penetration depth to use the full radius of the bit and then flush trim along all applicable edges (both sides) to achieve the curves as per the render concept. Fairly straightforward really. I like to use bits with ½” shanks when possible. They are just stronger than ¼” and give me more confidence for heavy work like this. |

Rounded off panels, I’ll hold off rounding the main side panels until I’ve used them for curved forms. More on that in the next post. Cutting template for CP cut-out. Steel plate CP insert for controls. Quick test fit before committing to sealing it in. Plate sealed in fiberglass after joystick bolts fitted. Cleaned up CP after sanding/ bondo fill and initial primer coat. Cut back hard to get everything nice and flush. Beauty primer coats begin.... I'll cut an access hole for wiring through the rear edge and into the control cut-out. |

As always, that looks amazing. If you had a live web cam, I would probably watch that for hours. :) Incredible work! J_K_M_A_N |
