| I chopped up Dr. Neubauer! Posted: 11/02/2007 at 1:25am |
| I bought two Dr. Neubauer Bulldozers, tried one, like it, but found it a bit too heavy. So, I made a standard size template, got out the power tools and created a new, lightweight standard size Doc. I also shortened the handle. The angle of the pic makes it look uneven, but it's actually dead on straight. It used to be 90 grams. Now it's under 80. I haven't glued up yet, but I will this weekend. BTW, the new one is up for sale on another post of mine. This is a really cheap way to have a high-priced top of the line balsa blade that has some pop to it!! I can't wait to do some spanking. 20071102_012231_Docs.gif Thanks for the thumbs-up my friends. I'm kinda proud of this one. It looks even better in person. The pic is from an angle and makes one side looks different, but it's dead on. I made a template from my Clipper and cut to that with a jig saw, then used a pad sander with fine grade paper, followed by hand sanding with a extra fine grade sanding sponge. Finally, I sealed it. To shorten the handle I layed the blade flat on my TT Table and sanded it down with the sander. I wasn't sure what would happend when sanding the cork, but it worked. The inner ply is balsa. It's light now . . . maybe even under 80grams. It was too freakin' heavy for me and the handle was made for Big Foot. Not any more!!!! |
