I'd been puzzling over how I was going to shape the leading and trailing edges of the fin and rudder. I knew I was going to use the table saw, but I wasn't exactly sure how. Well, here's how I ended up doing it. I first measured the angle of the trailing edge and set the table saw to that angle.
Then, I made the first cut. So far, so good. I cut about 2 feet off the end of that piece, and used it as a jig. I attached it to the fence with double-sided foam tape. Then I turned the piece of wood around and made the second cut.
Perfect! Just like I knew what I was doing! I followed the same procedure for the leading edge.
