[QUOTE=old man] Those are very nice looking linings and that's the first time I've seen linings installed before the sides are joined to the head and tail blocks. Looking good.

Bogdanovich, first glues the linings up against the side mold, and then once it has dried, marks and removes the lining area where the head and tail blocks are joined.

This is my first build so I will see how it goes, but I took the side pictured above out of the mold this morning, and it is perfectly formed and surprisingly strong.

I built myself a ksled today !!

took me all day long to figure it out and get the ribbon to advance in eqal steps, but I got it !!  Now I can begin to make some use of all of that mahogany I bought on ebay.

Next project will be to make a batch of neck plates and butt plates.

Excellent Did you use the instructions from the site I have hosted?? If so, let me know if I need to edit to make things clearer, I don't want people having to futz around all day to get it to work.

But I guess even if you do need to futz around a little at first, the Ksled is well worth every effort. Once you do have it worked out, you got yourself free kerfed linings, of any style you desire, with any kerf spacing you wish to select, and you can make them quickly and easily in your own shop.

Kim,

I took a look at your instructions page, then went out and built one with what I had to work with. In other words, My cave man mentality kicked in and I built it the way I wanted to build it using the idea you had posted on your page. I could have probably saved time by following the directions, but what fun would that have been?
