Still have to cut the wings. Does anyone know of a good and easily obtainable material to cut templates from? I have been using 1/8 ply and then rounding the edge followed by a coat of thin CA and finish sand but still having minor issues with the wire dragging.
Formica kitchen counter top materiel makes excellent templates. The hot wire doesn't melt or burn the edges and the glue side is easily marked with a pencil. Rough cut on a band saw and sand smooth to your outline. You usually can get scraps from a cabinet shop for free.
