So I turn my body, drill a weight and hook hole, center drill from the tail only as far as the hook hole, rough out the head angles (I'll show that later) then mount it on the sled, advance into the disc, and swing it side to side.

Note that the size of your disc is not important, it is the arc of the base that determines your face cove (actually the face cove is not the same as the arc of the base because of the geometry related to tilting...it turns out that you want the radius of the base less than the actual finished cove....you'll need to experiment a bit)
