Quest Tomahawk Build Part 4 Nose Cone

Skipping ahead to Step 16 you need to cut a hole in the nose cone base to install the clay weight.

Instead of just hacking a hole in the base, draw your cut lines first.
A razor saw can cut quick sometimes, depending on how thick the blow-molded plastic is. Cut slow and follow your pencil lines.





I ended up cutting inside the pencil lines. The drawn hole just looked larger than I thought at first.









After running over the rough edges with a sanding block, I also rounded off the corners to lessen the chance of tearing a thinner plastic area. A sharp cut might tear at ejection.
