A lot of time was spent laying out the simple hole for the baggage area which is on the forward face of the spar. I have kept rechecking that this hole is going in the right place. It is.

Then I managed to draw a lot more lines than I needed. I really want this neat and tidy. I used the router to get a clean oval and tidied up with permatgrit tools. This all disappears but my idea is that if each step is accurate my odds on a neat job go up.

After the oval was done I did a router trim on the inside edge and then very carefully used hand tools to get a nice graduation around the outer lip. Then sandpaper really carefully. The foam divinycell can damage easily.

Oh yeah did I also mention that I had previously microed this whole forward face and that means lots of sanding to get the shine out.

Layout overkill
