    Your methods and planning and craftsmanship is phenomenal. Great work
  • @murraybruce3802
    The V groove hot wire and tape is a great idea. Much thanks!
  • Your v-cut hot wire + tape method is awesome. Also love your wetlay up transfer mechanism to the board - not seen you do that before. Absolute genius as always. One thing I do that could be of interest: I use this bit to open up the track boxes… super quick and neat.

    What you are doing is great. But for your own sake you should be wearing a mask. Dust not good for you

    Really great technical skills building brother! Impressive! That tape and V cut trick is gold! Definitely will use that! Ya stressing me out with all the shots not wearing PPE, or taking it off in a dust filled room and knocking dust off your clothes. Dig all your tape tricks.
