Planning – Turning Points (Axes)

Now that the bottom, top and the sides of the lure were laid out, I had to figure out the head-on view, which was going to determine where the multiple turning axis (axes) needed to be. To do this I made a grid representing the end-stock of the wood blank. I placed a few turning points and drew arcs until I got the shape I wanted.

In the picture below, you can see the arcs created by each Vega template. The purple rectangle indicates the minimum dimensions of the wood blank (1.125” x 1.25”). I decided to use 1.5” x 1.5” x 9” stock (EWP).
