    I see you didn't go for the forearm contour on the front. Not a fan?

    edit: Contours on the back came out nice though. Nice transition.
    Oh, I have many grinders, and many flappy bits (discs included). But I'm currently living with an old German guy who is ridiculously vocal about "dust" in his shed, so I have to keep my footprint minimal.

    I was considering the forearm contour, but had already started painting the front so figured I'd let it go. After the giant headache that is working with KraftenPaent I should have just gone for it. Maybe that will be a job for next weekend. It's been completely bloody miserable here for weeks, hard to get motivated and moving.

    Thanks for the props re: transition! I tried really hard to make it look as organic as possible, smoothing the transitions so there are no hard facets. It actually makes it hard to take photos of because you can't tell from the images what is a contour and what isn't.

    EDIT: Considering how anal the old guy is about dust, you'd think he'd at least have his tools stored instead of just f*cking laying about everywhere. I do almost all my work on a corner of his table saw because literally every surface in this 8x9m shed is covered in crap. Can't wait to get out of here.
