G'Day Bob, Billy did one back in 2009.
Here's the thread below; I'm not sure if that helps.
You could "PM" Billy with your questions.
Cheers, crowie

G'Day Bob,
Billy did one back in 2009.
I've added the thread below; it might help.
You could always "PM" Billy with your questions, he seems a good bloke.
Cheers, Crowie

Hi Rob
I was the maker of Billy's Blade.If you look at Post #79 it says a namless builder in Vic made it for him.

I dont know if it is true to the plan,but it looks simular I think.
I just cut the flat sides on the table saw over size. Put the curve in it with the 3" drum on my bobbin sander.When it looked reasonable,I sanded the flat sides on the disc sander till they looked OK Maybe 15 minutes all up .I didnt put the end caps on it.I thought Billy might have done that,but it still looks OK on the model Well I think it is OK

The best way to cut the cove is on a table saw (for me at least). I did this dozer 8 months or so ago and cut the cove this way but didn't really follow the dimensions off the plan, just winged it Hard to explain how to do with a table saw however the following link demonstrates it well:
Cove cutting on the table saw
Hope this helps, let me know if you get stuck.-Scott

Plus, I'm working on this.
I'll have to make a visit to the recipient of the dozer to take a pic, the one I;ve got is of the dozer in the background. Going around there on the w/e.-Scott

Scott,
What do you mean you might do a WIP? You have to do a WIP. We demand it!
