Nice looking classic shape.

If you cut your upper press pieces to a different radius than the lower pieces, you will not have the problems shown in your picture of the ends not fitting over the wood. it takes a little math or work to do it right !
Keep it up !

Default Re: My first build..

draw one arc, and then use a compass set to the thickness of the board to draw like 100 half circles, that will give you the other radius.

if you imagine the board as a section of a giant pipe, the griptape side radius is obviously going to be slightly less than the truck side radius.
