Making My Own Fin - Part 1

I thought that I'd have a go making my own fin, so I got me hands on a sheet of ply and marked the shape I wanted to use.


I then started to cut it out using a jigsaw.


Having cut all the way round it...


I then sanded it to make the edge a little smoother. This, I think, is the first time I've ever used a jigsaw for a complex shape. Done plenty of straight line type of things, but getting round the curves was tricky. I ended up moving the ply as well as the jigsaw to get a rounder shape.


Yes, it's not amazing, but I think part 2 (when I get to doing it!) will hopefully remove the impurities ;)
