A new modelling tool I did not know I owned.

Curves have been bugging me for a while. How the heck do you cut them out? I've tried scissors, free hand with a knife, scoring with a pencil attached to a compass, scoring with a the pin end of a compass, and none have worked.

 

I was emptying the dishwasher the other day and it came to me. We've had pudding bowl hair cuts, so why not pudding bowl to create well cut curve.

I used a scalescene bridge as the template to create the bridge but adjusted the measurements as needed to create the bridge I need, and then the arch of the bridge was simply done using the bowl which has given me the following..... (Need to raise the bridge up by about 2mm before I plant it)

I wonder what else I will find in the house by the time I finish the layout.

good thinking and with the variations of bowls, pans, lids etc in size it should be possible to find something for each size of curve you need.

Said bowl is also useful for mixing polyfilla and the like but do wash it thoroughly before returning it to the kitchen.
