Warped! Part 3 Body Tube Cuts

I honestly didn't know if this was going to work, but worse case, I'm only out $2.00,
So with a new razor blade I tried to cut and "warp" the body tube -


Draw a pencil line down the length of the body tube for a center reference. Directly opposite this line, draw another one down the other side of the tube.


Wedge shaped cuts were made it the tube.
The pencil line is out of view, at the center and top of the wide part of the wedge.
After this first cut is made, stop and mark both sides.
One side gets marked 1, 2, 3, the other side A, B and C.
You should mark the tube sections, they are easy to get mixed up!




The cuts were squared up on 220 grit sandpaper on a block.

Check the next blog post to see how the tube pieces are marked.
