in this episode #6, we'll create the holes for the backlighting and use a few 3D printed tools to hone and shape the newly skinned surface.
I have to keep reminding myself it will work (to some degree ;-) and push-on as it would be very easy to feel overwhelmed with the difficulties. Each step has a new challenge and I have to bite off each one at a time.

Remember I got the basic wheel design off a designer but they never conceived of carbon fiber wrapping or backlighting so I've had to find ways to do that but it's been fun and I'm beginning to see some light...Literally.
