Shad day two

I started on the frames this morning. First step was to cut out the full size patterns and arrange them on the plywood. I also drew out the floor boards so I made sure I had plenty of wood.

I use a spray adhesive to adhere the paper to the plywood. I have learned that the best way to apply it is over some scraps on a garbage can. You don’t want to get this stuff on your hands. Then you pick up all the sawdust and it is hard to ever get your hands clean.

I use a plastic spreader to smooth the paper. It works better than anything else I have tried.

Next I start cutting out the parts with both the jig saw and band saw.  A little sanding and they are all done.

Funny thing was I am still short one frame. Well actually I have enough frames, I have extras! Just seems that instead of printing the one that I was missing, I printed one that was on the sheet. So I am still short one. But that is easy to fix tomorrow.
