  • - there you go.
  • 00:09:56.886 --> 00:09:59.188
  • Once you get these cut out, then you can take a sander,
  • 00:09:59.188 --> 00:10:02.558
  • A hand sander or even a palm sander,
  • 00:10:02.558 --> 00:10:05.127
  • And palm these out and make 'em--
  • 00:10:05.127 --> 00:10:06.896
  • - make it nice and smooth. - make it real nice.
  • 00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:08.597
  • But we just wanted to show you how to cut those.
  • 00:10:08.597 --> 00:10:10.266
  • We already have a couple pre-cut for the sake of time.
  • 00:10:10.266 --> 00:10:13.569
  • - yeah. - and, uh...
  • 00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:15.071
  • Now if you want to cut that.
  • 00:10:15.071 --> 00:10:16.639
  • - next thing, i'm gonna cut this steering
  • 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.243
  • On this for the sled here.
  • 00:10:21.243 --> 00:10:23.412
  • So i've already got it traced out.
  • 00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:25.081
  • I'm gonna use a jigsaw again,
  • 00:10:25.081 --> 00:10:26.749
  • And it's just gonna be some simple cuts.
  • 00:10:26.749 --> 00:10:29.085
  • And before you know it, i'll have it on the sled.
  • 00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:30.853
  • - when you're cutting something like that,
  • 00:10:30.853 --> 00:10:32.254
  • Would you actually want to clamp that down and--
  • 00:10:32.254 --> 00:10:34.690
  • To clamp it to the table
  • 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:36.025
  • Or would your body weight be enough to hold that?
  • 00:10:36.025 --> 00:10:38.861
  • - my body weight's heavy enough.
  • 00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:40.296
  • - [laughs] okay.
  • 00:10:40.296 --> 00:10:41.297
  • - but if--if--
  • 00:10:41.297 --> 00:10:42.298
  • You know, i would use a clamp
  • 00:10:42.298 --> 00:10:43.632
  • If you don't have as much weight as i do.
  • 00:10:43.632 --> 00:10:45.034
  • - okay. - so--
  • 00:10:45.034 --> 00:10:46.202
  • [saw buzzing]
  • 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:49.538
  • There you go.
  • 00:10:49.538 --> 00:10:51.207
  • Now we can steer the sled.
  • 00:10:51.207 --> 00:10:52.708
  • - and you can sand out those edges and--
  • 00:10:52.708 --> 00:10:55.244
  • So we actually need to start putting this thing together.
  • 00:10:55.244 --> 00:10:58.214
  • We're gonna need another deck board
  • 00:10:58.214 --> 00:11:00.216
  • And another support board.
  • 00:11:00.216 --> 00:11:01.550
