Thank you very much for that feedback, and well picked up on the wood. That is 19mm, which was the closest I could get to what I believe will be 14mm on the real thing. After your comments I will try harder to get something closer to 14mm. I have had my jigsaw for close to 30 years and it hasnt done much in the last 20!. I will certainly be trying different cuts as you suggested.
After my painting trials I have an idea of what I want to do, but trying off cuts and seeing if the paint looks the same is a great idea.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Don.
I bought the kit on the 29th of August and it was in the Aust Post warehouse at 2.57am on the 1st of Sept with a delivery expected between the 8th and 12th. I was expecting by now that I would be well under way but unfortunately not. According to the Aust Post tracking website, 17 days after accepting my parcel it is still 'waiting to be processed for delivery'.
Ah well I will just have to keep practicing my painting (I have now realised the difference between sanding with 220 grit and 1200 grit!!),
soldering and jigsawing.
