Tip and Tail Pt. 2

This is shows the bottom beam, which is made out of 2 2x4s and 3 2x6s.  On top of that, is the bottom mold (which provides camber) made of MDF strips, on top of that will go the tip and tail pieces, and in the gap between tip and tail pieces will go a sheet of 1/4" MDF.





I cut out the tip and tail pieces using the jigsaw, then routed them using my Masonite template.


There are 10 pieces that make up a tip/tail mold.  8 of them sit nearly flush on top of the MDF bottom mold, and two of them are taller and sit down into the gap between the ribs of the bottom mold.


All of the pieces will be cut down in height so that they can abut flushly to a sheet of 1/4" Masonite.
