I make patterns out of newspaper for the sides and the bottom.
I also like to turf the sides first then the tray. That way you dont have to worry about messing up the tray turf.
If you do some searches there are tons of threads about turfing with lots of helpful tips and tricks here.

I got some useful info out of that write up but never fully understood the dowel concept. I just put on some leather gloves (because hot turf hurts when you're holding it down) and molded my turf without glue to a general form and trimmed leaving an inch extra on each side in the event of error.

Then just applied the glue to turf and ski and used the basic form I just made as a mold and laid the turf where it belongs. Then carefully fold the rest into place and perform the final trim. :biggthumpup:

Almost forgot...super glue the edges to keep water from lifting your edges.
