Nose Ring Sanded to Shape
Time Spent: 1 hour
I sanded the nose ring to shape tonight. I'm extreeemly pleased with the results. I attached the nose ring on a 1/2 inch threaded rod arbor mounted in my drill press. Then, turning the assembly around 500 RPM, I used a combination of the belt sander and hand sanding to get it into the final shape. We'll see how well this matches the final cowl shape. I'm sure I'll need to do some filling and sanding but DAMN! this thing looks good.
