Today I started work on the tip and tail pieces for the bottom mold. I made a template on 1/4" Masonite (hardboard) by tracing the tip from my dad's skiboards, then freehanding with the jigsaw. I planned to finish it using some sort of jig and the router table, but I couldn't work out the jig satisfactorily, and my freehand cut turned out surprisingly well, so I just finished a little with the belt sander and called it good. Then traced it 16 times on my MDF. 4 of the pieces are extra tall, and it just occured to me that I actually need to cut 20 pieces. Tomorrow I'll hopefully have time to cut them out with the jigsaw and start finishing using my template and the router table.
