As you will notice, there is no need for power tools for this project.
Cutting the station can easily be done by hand using a fret-saw, jeweler saw or coping saw.
You may also use a scroll saw with the finest blade you have.
Tool:
Blade:
I use the finer one as basswood is very soft.
If you use plywood (building from scratch or from the European wood package) for the station mold, the finer blade will work just as well.
Cutting:
Follow the line as closely as possible, cut slowly, this type of saw allow very fine cut, especially curve cuts.
If not, the mold can be sanded down to the line. Just do not go too far past the line.
You may also look at this option to ease setup of the strongback.
A wider base on the station molds will stabilize then better: not a "must" but something to think about.
