| David Duckett | Sterling P-61 Black Widow | Build | 09-May-18 09:28 |  | | Views : 416 | | I used a hint found here and shaped the blades using sanding only. It took awhile but it will be the preferred method now. Black was added to the OD for the spinner color. These will be the last things glued on. |

Use the triangle to mark the vertical line intersecting the bottom line. The hole punch makes a 3/16" hole. Line it up with the vertical line and where ever you want it relative to the bottom line, making sure they are all the same. |
