What does the guy with over 100 laser cut scale kits do when he is bored...cut out a frame kit on the band saw instead of purchasing a laser cut kit of course! I printed out a set of 1/10th scale plans from my laser cut templates,and decided to see how much I like my new bandsaw. I have not cut a frame kit in probably 3 years, so I wanted to see if I was up to the challenge! 3 hours later I had the kit cut and fitted together! I took the paper drawn parts, and contact glued them to the face of the ply I was cutting, and ran it through the band saw and it worked pretty well. My laser guy is backed up with my customers orders, and I have had the itch for a shovel nose build for a while, so decided to just do it. It will either be the Hawaii Kai III, '70 U-00 Lil Buzzard, or the '69 U-25 Hook tail Pak. I am leaning towards the hook tail. Enjoy the pics, Mike
