How do you shape, cut, grind your limb pads on a takedown?

Just to answer myself, I do it this way. Cut it to the line on the bandsaw and then one pass on the jointer.

I rough them out on the band saw and then clamp them in a jig for the profile sander. I had a CNC shop cut out my patterns out of 1/4” aluminum.

I also use bandsaw then jig on profile sander. As of late I have been putting .040 glass after profiling.

I draw my lines on the riser, cut on bandsaw and then flatten the pads on my edge sander.
