    A little more progress.

    Thes parts are very close to ready for polyester. There are a few little bondo touch ups here and there I need to do but mostly they are done. I’m counting on the polyester to take care of any imperfections left at this point.

    The radiused end of these were ground with flat spots gallore. They still need a bit of work but otherwise this piece I think should look pretty good all said and done.

    Again the rounded corners of this door had flat spots gallor. All the radiused top “or rather bottom” of the door. The round part faces down, had a giant flat spot in the cast. I just could leave it that way even though you would never ever see it. They did the same at the factory with the dust collection chute, anything facing down they just left a mess.

    I can’t have that, It goes against my nature. Fine for someone else’s saw if that’s what they want.

    The bond is not nearly as thick as it looks.

    Flat spot gone!
