Great work Dave, your detail is fantastic. Sharing your work is so helpful to me on my build (TR 2). Please keep posting videos, I'm thoroughly enjoying the progress. Thanks muchly , best regards Ric.
Good work Mike. On that sharp bend at the top of the door skin. What about using one of Peter's small blocking hammers and beat on a sandbag; then use a blunt bolster and hammer on a bag, to sharpen the line.
Thanks Charlie, I did just that and it really helped turn that radius. I started by spacing a sharpish hammer blow on the line every half inch, then started turning on a 3/8" steel rod and that did the trick. When I head back to the shop later this morning I'll finish the turn then start cleaning it up. I was trying to avoid making marks that would later require cleaning up but, for me at least, turning with brute strength just isn't possible. Thanks for the advice!
