I have all six templates roughed in. I did some finish sanding and then used the laser to trim the ends. This is how to get the width correct.
Next just lay them out on some MDF and cut the stations out. A note here; if you are going to use any part of the buck to do hammer forming or flow forming, do not use MDF in that area. It doesn't take shock well at all. It will fracture and disintegrate.You even have to be careful threading deck screws into it, they will pull the threads right out. I'll cover how to avoid the thread stripping problem when I get to that point.

Some more finish work. Sanding routing , and checking fit. This station will sit on a riser that will represent the amount of gap produced by the cross over.
