Save the dowel lengths left over from the long tunnels.
This is an over exaggeration - but cut the dowels over size, longer than the APS Unit Core center piece.
Two set of dowels and the center pieces are used on the model.
A clothes pin clamp was used to glue the three pieces together.
Check from the front and rear to be sure the dowel sides are in line with the center piece. Be sure the gluing tab is exposed on the bottom.
The half dowels were cut long to sand them down to the center piece length. Keep an eye on the laser burnt edges on the center piece, you can easily see when the burnt edge is reached.
This is the harder part of the shaping -
In the end, the top silhouette should look like a upside down heart shape.
TIP: Make a wide pencil line at the top and sand the sides checking the pencil width as you go.
