Re Carving Wing Leading EdgeI used 2" X 1" spruce which had one scarf mid way, using a router table& a large half round cutter the front corners were removed, this saved alot of time.I used a large industrial hack saw blade, a very accurate profile wasground out on one edge, this was used as both a scraper & a guage forthe exact shape.It was a slow job speeded up a bit by a small block plane to remove thehigh spots, I avoided any power tools as the risk of taking too much offwas too great for me.In two days of intermittent work I had all leading edges finished toquite good accuracy.Regards Graham Hewitt________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 7 Dec 2008 18:41:53 +0000
