In your fantasy creatures puzzle book, you mention using a split mandrel for sanding. Could you explain how to use the little monster--it spits sandpaper strips at me and I'm getting tired of dodging.
After I wrap the small strip of swiss sanding cloth in the mandrel, I use a small strip of duct tape or those tiny hair rubber bands to hold the sandpaper in place while I sand...
You did a beautiful job with it. Great paintwork! I can see Carving the prop out of one piece considering the grain direction changes etc. was a challenge.
By the way, I did not follow the dimensions exactly as I just used scrap wood that was lying around and scaled to fit - also, for the propeller, I decided to make it from a single block - that turned out to be slightly more difficult than first imagined... but it works!
Hullo (in Scottish) or Hi in 'Murican?
I stumbled across this site by accident while looking to keep my idle hands busy as I was hunting for easy whirligig patterns. I found some old plans by Mr Paul Meisel from about 10 years ago about a P31 Mustang here https://scrollsawer.com/2009/08/28/ai...
