ASP D Region Tomahawk Build, Part 3, Fin Shaping




Here's two fins, one right off the sheet and the second after light sanding with 400 grit on a block. The laser "smoking" should be taken off.
You can round the leading edges but I'm going for the scale wedge tapers on the leading edges.

TIP: To make the fin marking easier, extend the lines beyond the instruction sheet illustration with a pencil and straightedge.


Tape the basswood fin down to the full size drawing.

With a straightedge and sharp pencil, mark the fin taper line.







You can flip over the fin to mark the other side.

Use just the leading edge in the drawing and the extended lines drawn earlier.
