Just cut out a sweet little mini last week for a bit of fun. Was also the biggest design I could sneak through carry on luggage with tiger to avoid paying $60 for a sporting item.

Yeah I see what your saying, I'll check out the Asym later today and maybe use a belt sander to fix one side, chop in half then use that, my idea was to bolt it with the deck bolts then rout the edges, ive seen videos and they say just to cut most of it beside about a cm then use the router, here's a video of people doing it

I think that is a flat template for his router not the concaves deck.... Conrad I'm not being picky but is the nose a little asymmetrical?
If it is maybe rule a center line on the template top and bottom. Then get a center line on the deck. Carefully clamp the template to the deck with the lines lined up. Then route one side. Flip the template then reclamp it all lined up and route the second side. I'll be straigt up. I have never done it but I have been thinking about how to use my router for a while.
Dunno?????
