There is a new video for simple method of building a fairing without any specialist stuff. (except the materials of course) http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/learning/mouldless-composites-laminating
All the best. Roy Edited by RoyMacdonald - 27 May 2022 at 3:15pm |

Thats really interesting. Possibly useful for one-off fully faired machines, but note the comments on the weight of this part at 20:15, and note the wobblyness of the part at 19:20, even with three layers of 200g carbon. Useful for an easy way to make a fairing over a framed bike like the Davis? streamliners, or you could possibly retrofit enough strengthening ribs internally to make a 'frame' to then hang components off... The skill of the guy doing the work is amazing - Paul really knows what he's doing and it's easy to look at this and think that this is easy, but it's NOT!!! :) The skill in sanding the shape in the first place is unreal, and would be very very hard without the £900 6" orbital sander with extraction.

Yes, I would have trouble with using an orbital sander since my stroke and would have to do it by hand using a block very slowly. As to the weight, I guess that's why Daniel Fenn always makes a mould first, even though his sanding skill are out of this world.
Check out Paul's other videos, they are very interesting as well. All the best. Roy Edited by RoyMacdonald - 28 May 2022 at 11:26am |

This video is another take on mouldless parts making.
A really good step by step guide for the homebuilder. https://youtu.be/kjOt76LcKjU It has a lot of useful info on parts making and some basic aerodynamic information and considerations. Their channel has videos on making moulds as well |
