    So I'm back at this fairing. I've gotten quite a bit done, but still a ways to go. Pics to come later. Question: I build in a small non-conforming basement bedroom without any windows or anyway to vent dust. Does anyone have any recommendations for how to collect the dust? Shop vac seems like it would be way to loud. There is no where I could put a larger dust collector. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Shawn

    So I've been stuck with the fairing of Speedwell for several months. I cannot in my head visualize how to go about this. Should i just go for it? Seems like there is a lot of material to be removed and I don't want to over-fair. Would I be better off installing the fore cant frames before doing this fairing? What would you use to complete this fairing? Dremel, mouse sander, by hand with sanding blocks, or another way? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Happy 4th. Tried to get a little time in the shop today. However, I’m ready to work on sweep port DF and am unable to find it. Hopefully they weren’t on a different billet? Any insight would be appreciated. shawn

    There are only about 5 of these frames that are permanently attached. Some still need final adjustments. Chuck's jig system is pretty fool proof, some adjustment is needed. Not alot. On to working on the sweep ports/port sills. Shawn
  31. sfotinos
    I’m considering setting all the “tall frames”, and then go back setting the “small frames”. Or is it best to do the sweep port and gun port frames as I go? Shawn
  32. sfotinos
    So now I may be getting ahead of myself, but here we are. I am scared. shawn
  33. sfotinos
    I assume this shouldn't matter?
  34. sfotinos
    So I'm building frame 10A. I had already relabeled mine when you posted this. I seem to however already have a set of 10A? All 4 match perfectly. Hopefully I'm good. Shawn
  35. sfotinos
    Before I attempt to start getting ready to permanently attach my frames. If I’m going to treenail them should I do it before I attach them and do the frames individually or after they are permanent and can do the whole run? Let there be frames… Thanks shawn
