Now that I figured out all the cut dimensions, I wanted to make sure they actually worked on my design. So I got some of my X board and made a half scale model.
Process.
First I cut out the basic shape...
Cutting the strips off the inside to allow curving, I played with a heat gun in the workshop but I didn't have access to one at home. I found that a hair dryer works just as well....
Then I cut out the corner detail...
Thus I folded it up....
But I found that there was way to much tension in the joints. So I went back and create a few "V" cuts to relive some of the tension.....
And then I folded it up again, and alot of the uneccesary tention was gone......
