After cooling there still was a bit of spring back, but sure made it easier to locate and mark where the recesses are to be cut.

Since the Softener does work on the adhesive in the ply, A heatgun was used to soften up the glue during the forming. During this stage I repeatedly wet the ply with water to help the bend. When the water steams off the part, you know it's hot enough!

Left some space between the lashing. Notice my brand new cast! Broke my wrist a week and a half ago. DOH!

Canopy Fairing. 1/64" ply soaked in "Super Soft 2" veneer softeneir. This stuff doesn't have any amonia or vinegar in it so it doesn't smelll that bad. Works pretty good too. The form is Bass.

A bit off key, but, since I lost my original wedding band years back I thought my wifey might like it if I showed a bit of commitment. Made this out of 6al4v Titanium (for the band) and some Macume Gane three layer (silver, copper white gold) for the insert.. The band has undercuts to allow the Macuume Gane to be swedged in. No soldering.

Changed the bit for the larger intake (Harbor Freight has a really nice diamond bit kit).

I decided to use some diamond points to bore the holes instead of a standard drill bit to keep the glass and balsa from shredding.

After a quick primer coat(s) the cowl was double stick taped to a bit of MDF and secuured to a mill to bore out some holes.

Decided to scallop (?) between the stringers to get uninterrupted lines. Gotta adjust that one. It's the only one I replaced after I broke it during the cowl shaping. Pictures really show stuff!

After a three week work blast (work work, Mars copter, full-size for JPL) completed the stringers and shaped the nose block (minus the intake ports, hollowing. and light glass).
