Drawing Irregular Shapes
The best tool for drawing an irregular shape
on the workpiece is the fl exible curve. This
handy tool is made from a fl exible material and
is designed to bend into any desired shape or
curve. You can bend this material down to a
1″ radius and it will hold its shape and will not
spring back, Figure 4-24. Once you have the de-
sired shape, use a sharp pencil to trace around
the outline.
