    Steve sorry to hear that, some advice don't push it to soon when healing i have retorn both L & R shoulders good luck Steve and take it slow!.
  3. I did sharpen the back side of a head knife on one side for the pull cut dumb f-----------------------------------------ing thing to do! IMHO
  4. That looks like fun how long do you think it will take and have you done this type of thing in the past like to see pics when its done.
  5. I just did a 3'' Rad just to be sure using 4 oz vegtan with 3oz liner stitched with 277 thread and it looks good no wrinkles hope it works for you if not i will send you a pic of the sample.
  6. Sorry divide the total circumference by 8 then work each eighth one at a time constantly pushing one way like your making a thousand little wrinkles practice on scrap with the same radius and length of one eighth leave some extra to hold on to.
  7. No notches skive the edge just a bit half inch or so then ease the edge by fourths or eigthly one at at a time and that will give you a nice clean edge try a scrap rad first hope this helps.
  8. Nice job!!!
