I started a discussion in the Watering Hole about my next project, an upscale original Estes X-Ray. The clear payload section will be 3" OD and 2-7/8" ID. My friend Bill had sent me some nice Balsa blocks, and he and Bradycros talked me into trying to turn my own nose cone. I'm still not sure about the outcome, but I jumped in with both feet.
The blocks are 2x4x12, so I laminated two together with wood glue, and attached a 3" lathe face plate to one end.
