I thought I would spend some extra time and effort trying to make a "proper"
foil shape for my dagger-board. Since I have no expectation of being a super racing
machine, this is more just for fun than anything. Just cutting a taper on both sides
would have probably been fine.
| Draw out and print the foil shape onto paper |
| Rip a 1" scrap piece of plywood into 2 1/2" strips and glue back together with
hot glue |
| Glue pattern onto plywood using glue-stick |
|
|
| Rough cut out shape using my table saw |
|
|
Split the pieces and then glue to outside of 1x12 board at
each end of where I wanted the taper |
|
| With multiple saw cuts - and lots of sawdust, cut out desired taper shape on the table
saw. Lifting the board up and down and moving it along the saw blade seemed to work
better than trying multiple passes. |
|
|
| Remove the jig from the wood and start smoothing with a block plane. |
|
|
| After noticable planing and sanding, I used epoxy and filler to smooth the board out. |
