And yes, my floor is wet. My shops have a tendency to flood a bit

Sam's spouse suggests bent plywood laminate (soaked), kerfed pine like you use for guitar linings or bent furniture table legs, or plastic from bendy thin kitchen cutting boards, 1 on each side of the skewers, with bondo in the middle of them. She also likes the heated acrylic idea.

You've given me a lots of good ideas! I'll have to do some experimenting tomorrow. I think I'll try acrylic in the toaster oven first

What kind of discs are you using in the sander? Project Farm had a good video on sandpaper life.

Also, great for you being sponsored, I’m not sure if this will be one of your first sponsors but good for you

Got any metal sheet left overs from that bus? Would be easy to make the fins with that material. I'd also expect them to be thin, and not quarter inch width like these seem to be.

you might want to try weaving yarn in the fins, tightly and then use maybe resin or some hardener.

Have you considered routing a path for the fins and then maybe glue in a piece of bendable material (thin wood, plastic whatever) to form the air fin? I'm sure you already thought of it so good luck with the rest of the build!

Not going to knock you on getting sponsors because money is always great but probably good to aknowledge the fact that ads often change people's opinion on you. Seems that lots of people react to youtubers getting ads that way v😒v

This is true. I like to have fun with the ads, so maybe fewer people will mind

Don't fret (easy to say) about working and not getting videos out. Always surprising to see the different spaces when you walk between them while filming! Awesome setup. Thank for sharing and good luck with el busso ;)

1) Congrats on the sponsorships! 2) Epoxy paste? There are some pretty thick ones that shouldn’t sag. 3) I know this isn’t really on brand for you but I think you need a 3D printer!

It's a shame I don't live close, I could have. Helped you out with my 3D printer. Maybe there's someone way closer with one who could help you!

Two thoughts come to mind: (1) fiberglass cloth (2) kydex

What about Sintra plastic?
