looks great. can't wait to give it a spin.
don't forget the tummy contour for my pasta belly !!!! smaller than it used to be but bigger than it should be...
Will do, paisan!
Control cavity tweaking...attached template to the body template with inset piece for actual cavity. I drilled the control holes 1/2" deep from the front before routing the cavity, it eliminates any visible tear out in the finished cavity. I also hogged out the cavity with a 1" forstner bit and the shopsmith to within 3/8" from the front. With a more powerful pin router this wouldn't be necessary.
Control cavity, top thickness is now 1/4" in cavity area.
Removed the insert and made the cover route. I have a lot of .01inch aluminum flashing so I'm going old school for shielding. It also works great as a ground. Cuts with scissors. That shielding paint is expensive!
Cover template needs a little work
Off to find some paisley wallpaper.
