Title: Seems like a lot of wood
Post by: Wynn Robins on July 22, 2007, 06:01:07 PM

Anyone have templates for fuse formers that I can use for the 6 more verctor 40s I intend to build??? 

Seems like I am cutting through a truckload of wood on top blocks..........

Go ahead and under cut the outside surface of the block.  Seal the surface and mold the top sheeting.  Watched Windy's tape on doing the molding of top and bottom blocks for stunters.  DOC Holliday

Definitely make a mold if you're doing 6 of them, Wynn!  Some 3/32 (or even 1/8 if you feel the need) molded is cheaper and easier than having to do all that carving. y1 ;D

Glad I could make your day....... I got to a point where I when I just went "WOW" at the amount of shavings there.......hence the picture.

I love carving the blocks -but for expediency - I think molding will be quicker........

love the smell of cut balsa tho..... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
