image/ Turned Nose Cones.jpg
Using my drill press as a verticle lathe, turned the two nose cones from balsa. Section of BT cut off since the CSM is not seen from the outside. Will use the pattern as a template to emboss aluminum duct tape to be wrapped around tube. The original plastic capsule is on the right.
