Day 21: Working the Body

I was able to make some progress on contouring the main body block over this last weekend. First, I drew a design on the block using one of the faux body bent sides. I then cut out the contours using Little Buddy, my Delta 12" bandsaw.

The plan was to use the Ridgid oscillating spindle sander to rough out the contours and then use a small hand - or thumb - plane to smooth out the edges.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I'll continue to work on the contours until I'm happy they the match on both sides. Then, I'll begin the process of mounting the bent sides.

Until then...
