Great content. I am here because Kyle from Carters Auto Restyling mentioned your channel and how your profile template method worked. Really like how you explain things, thanks!
Brilliant solution! Guess who got a laser-level for Xmas. Australian viewers might like to know, that the plastic board is branded as corflute and is available at Bunnings. If anyone has access to aluminium wire - as used in electrical-engineering - it is very malleable and could be used along the sharpie-line to make a profile to mark the corflute. It can be easily bent using fingers and a light mallet. I found my wire inside an old Lincoln welder, it is about 4mm in diameter.
Bill! Excellent presentation as always. Perfect technique. You can also use water soluble mold release available from autobody shops used for fiberglass/gelcoat mould release. Thank you, for taking the time and sharing your knowledge!
Good morning, great demonstration for template use. I use my laser for a lot of projects such as this. Thanks for a realistic use of this equipment. Take care and good luck.
Packing tape is the best mold release I’ve been doing this for years I love that someone made a video about it I tried to tell wray schelin about this I don’t think he understood lol 😂
I have been trying to purchase Johnson's Paste Wax for a few years and cannot find it unless someone on Ebay is charging over $200.00. I do not think it is being produced any longer. I hope I am wrong. It works great for lubricating wood drawers in cabinets or furniture. Put it on, rub it off and the drawers glide smooth and easy. It prevents the drawer and the runner from wearing into each other. I just checked Home Depot and no listing. Ace handles Minwax but no Johnson's. How old is your tub of wax? 30 years? For mixing Bondo, use a putty knife, scrape the pallet and turn the mess over. Each time you scrape, you pick up unmixed product and incorporate it into the pile. Stirring with a stick takes more time and is no where near as effective. Thanks for the tip on the plastic cardboard and the use of wax and bondo to make an exact template. I have never seen this done before.
Really? Maybe so in 2 minutes, but we would all lose any additional tips that are pertinent to the process. I love the lateral tips and information he gives in every one of his videos!
Hi, Always hard to please everyone. When I explain something in two minutes, someone will always say "What, I don't understand?". Thanks for watching and keep on keeping on.
I am also a sendover from Carter's channel....also very impressed with the video discussing the shape/form relationship.
Glad it helped. B

Kyle sent me here. 👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you William, I will try it out on my upcomming build!
Whenever Bill drops a video, I sit down and take notes.
Thanks
Excellent!
Very, very easy and clear presentation . More, please😊
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experiences Bill. these videos are great.
Glad you like them.

Hi, Yup, I have heard that masking tape will work as well. Thx for watching. B
Another great video, thanks a lot for sharing.
Great technique, as always.
Brilliant 👍😎👍
This technique, with slight modification, is also handy for taking a profile to make forming dies for a Pulmax type tool
Hi, Yup, great way to make Pullmax tooling as well.
Very clever-Thank you!
Great job, Bill!
Great idea!
Thank you
Thank you. I'm trying to come up with a collaboration project for you and Ron Covell.

Hi, Good to know about the putty knife. My tub of wax is more than 30 years old. I figure that when it is gone, I will retire:) Thanks for watching.
I have used Mcguires Gold Class Carnuba paste wax (can) for this process, and it worked great also.
Johnsons Paste Wax has been discontinued. The only way to get it is through the secondary market and it's expensive. Maybe $60 to $75 for a can.
BS-the local ACE hardware has it sitting on the shelf-

@ Word on the street is it is out of production. I have enough for my life time, planning on retirement when I use the last little bit :)
If for some reason you can't use Bondo, boatwrights have a process called "spiling" that will also make accurate patterns.
Jesus did weep !!! Great idea but he didn’t half go on and on and on …..
Could have wrapped it up in two minutes.
