Dig Your Own Hole(s) (part 3)

Not finding time to work on the Marlin seems to be a recurring theme on this project, but I've finally finished the cavities!

The last one was a little awkward to chisel out, as it's so narrow, but it just took some patience and regular clearing out of all the shards and chunks. Here's the result:

Which leaves me with the finished cavities looking like this:

The final weight is 2.41kg, which is pretty good - not quite sure how that adds up with the weight after the previous cavity as it's a little less than expected, but that's a good thing so I'm happy with how it's turned out! It's definitely been worth it.

I've already bought a piece of 3mm plywood from which I'll cut the cavity covers, but the next task will obviously be to create the recesses around the cavities that the covers will fit into. Then once the cavities are covered, it's downhill to painting...
