Battens part 2

My spokeshave didn't arrive so I have moved back to working I the battens

I am reasonably happy with the fairing at the aft end, so I started cutting the notches for the battens. So far I am only cutting into frames 0 thru 4. I have so far cut 10 notches.

I am cutting them with the router. Took a couple of notches to get the jig setup properly, but it is now cutting perfect notches. At about notch 4 my router but sheared off, couldn't see any reason why, but they were cheap bits. So quick trip to bunnings to get a new one. Hit a couple of screws with the new one, but hasn't damaged the bit thankfully.
