What's the best way to round corners on my side panels...especially the dramatic curves up by the marquee?  Sand paper  :-[?

skirge66:

i first drew the lines out with a compass, made a jig to fit my router, used an 1 1/2" plunge bore bit for my router, the sanded it.

ErikRuud:

Here are some options

1) Use router or Roto Zip and jig or guide as mentioned above.

2) Use a jig saw to cut close to the line of the curve and the a power sander to sand down to the line. A belt sander or contour sander would be best.  A  palm or orbital sander would have trouble with the inside curves.

3) Anything else would probably be too much work to consider.

GSXRMovistar:

Easiest way is to draw your curves on your panels then sand the corners by hand, it takes a little longer than using power tools but you shouldn't end up making any mistakes.
