LBJ-templates-2
The templates for the fins and the finlets were cut from the last page. They were then taped down to the plywood sheets and the outlines transferred with a mechanical pencil. Orientation really does not matter because of the plywood. There are 2 finlets and 3 fins.
The instructions give suggestions for several ways in which to cut the sheet material. Since I didn't have any of the nice power tools, most of the "good" options were out. I wasn't about to try it with a pair of shears. That left just the "multiple pass with X-acto" method. It is fortunate that I had a new box of blades. I went through 5 of them cutting the first fin. After that I had to leave this project aside for a while.
