These are the last two sound sabers for our Kiwanis fundraiser this month. This is my first time using the TCSS sleeve material. It is thin walled and a challenge to machine. Clamping too tight in the vise distorts it and a large cutter chatters enough to move it in the vise. The trick is to pre-drill and use a small diameter milling bit, also take small amounts at a time. The front and rear curved areas were accomplished on the band saw and belt sander, using the top radius of the belt to get the curve section. It was a fun challenge.
