This one is made from Plywood, about 3mm thick. I am not uploading a template, as I hope to sell these, but you
can make your own shape. I have made mine around 65mm (2 and a half inches) long.
1. Materials I used were: 3mm plywood. electric drill sand paper, both
heavy and light hand saw varnish
2 Design your shape and trace onto
plywood. Placement of holes and
slots can also be made at this time.
3. Cut out shape with hand saw.
4. Drill pilot holes with a smaller
drill first.
5. With a larger drill, drill a hole
half way through the shuttle. Then
turn it over and complete the hole.
This stops it splitting the wood.
6. This could have been done at the
same time as I cut out the shape,
but I cut the slots at this stage.
Then I sanded the whole thing with
a rough grit sandpaper, and then
with fine sandpaper.
7. To get it really smooth so their are no rough edges to snag the cotton
onto, I varnish it twice, sanding it with fine sandpaper inbetween each
coat. Hang it by a wire to dry. Water based varnish dries quite quickly too.
