 Re: "Layouts" show us ya layout!
Gib is too thick! 6mm custom wood is as close as you'll get! I'm about to do this (scored a Jigsaw this weekend) I'll post pics when I get started. The other option would be thicker custom wood and Router out the shape of the track and at the correct depth.

 Re: "Layouts" show us ya layout!
Yeah Gib is thicker upto 10mm, but you can shape the sides a lot easier with a knife, also a lot easier to get a closer fit rather than a jigsaw (well I wasn't the best when I gave it a go).

 Re: "Layouts" show us ya layout!
Well that's just good planning. Makes my Gib idea lame (yeah yeah I hear you laughing Dave).
How easy was it to route the track ?? Still have the 2 sheets of 2440 x 1220 x 20 in the shed (under a heap of (wont say what the wife says)).

 Re: "Layouts" show us ya layout!
The base is 18ml custom wood , then i laid out track design and slide 6ml custom under track 1 sheet at a time then traced around track to get pattern , then took 6ml out again with track marked on it and cut it out with a gigsaw then laid pieces cut out around track , when happy just glued it to the 18ml sheet and started next sheet , big job but works
