Any tips on cutting 6mm ply?

[Murv]

If you are copying an original, this is obviously a problem; but not if you are making the template. I have even used corrugated cardboard, with the edge stiffened with PVA glue.

That's a handy tip It would be useful to be able to knock things up from scratch by using a cardboard template.
It's all cut now, the fluted profiler worked perfectly, it took far longer to keep moving the panel round and re-clamping than it did to do the cutting!
I know have a perfect copy in marine ply, just need to install the fittings and stain it. Then I can get on with replacing all the others.
Thanks for all the help, they'll be no stopping me now!

I did a very neat job of removing the top of two fingers with an electric plane ......

For this job I'd be inclined to use a router.

My wife swears by (or rather "after") using small, rechargable grass trimming shears for the removal of finger ends. I find that a neater finish is achieved with a steel straight edge and Stanley knife.

Or were you being deliberately obtuse?

No just stupid.

No offence meant, Amulet, merry Christmas. Must find a seasonal avatar to rival VicS.
