Well, I said I made good progress today and I didn't lie. I was also able to cut out the 2 cylinder holders for the outer legs. I had plenty of scraps lying around so I chose a .75" piece of plywood that I would be able to get both pieces out of. I used my router table to cut the small arcs and then my table saw to cut the length of the piece.

Since the scrap piece of wood I was using was round I needed to create a flat edge to run along the table saw fence to ensure a good straight cut.

And here is the end result after the cut was made

| Ankle Cylinder Holder |
Now, this piece sits flush up against the ankle cylinders so I still need to sand the bottom of the cylinder holder so that I can get a good clean fit. I originally hoped I could find a core box router bit large enough to achieve the clean fit but I could not find one that has a radius cut of .6875". I figured it was a long shot but had to try anyway. So as I mentioned earlier I will just need to sand it by hand. But that is a job for another day.
