And another curve is added …

Tom used the modified Makita router to round over the starboard deck edge, and is still very happy with its performance.

Normally I hold the extractor hose nozzle to the router as Tom works, but there is no way I’m going near it when the 38mm bit is attached – there’s very good reason for Tom’s hazmat look. The modification meant the standard dust extractor attachment could no longer be used, so he jury rigged one with cable ties and the guide arm. This reduced the amount of flying glass and dust by about 80%.

We wet out the triaxial tape on the deck and then lifted it into place, smoothed and rolled.

Then we rolled on peel-ply, and another curve was born.
