If only we could outsource char removal

That company would be very very rich! And I would a steady customer. 🤣

Rusty,

 

Your work looks awesome! I'm at the stage of sanding the deadwood down and adding the wedges. 

 

I hope whatever was keeping you down is in the rearview mirror. Getting old isn't for the faint of heart. Two days before the Conference, I had some minor surgery and certainly wasn't going to miss that day! Keep up the good work!

 

Best Regards .... Rick

Hi all,

 

I've just finished sanding the char off both sides of the billets holding the frame pieces. After that was done I applied a light coat of wipe on poly to both sides before removing any pieces. For me it seems to help keep the sides cleaner when removing the char from the rest of the frames. I'll be taking the frame pieces out one at a time, clean them up and put them in Individually marked storage bags until I'm ready to assemble them.

This will take a bit of time as there are a lot of frames to do.😀

I'm continuing the char clean up and bagging the frame pieces until assemble.

Below is a set all cleaned and ready for assembly later. The laser cutting is clean and precise.

There are a total of 42 "square" frames to be made up in chapter 1.

Back to scraping and sanding. :)

I've been assembling some frames, and they are going well. I just couldn't resist placing first frame (Aa) on the keel.

For the picture I moved the left square to the back of the frame so you can see the how it lines up with the plan.

It's now back where it belongs. Back to assembling more frames!

Looks great, just a few more to go😊

Thanks Glenn, Just 41 more of the full frames!

 

As I set a frame on the keel I continue to assemble other frames. I was going to assemble all the frames first, but this way breaks it up a little. Plus, it's nice to see some frames in place. 

 

You will see uneven application of poly on the frame outboard and inboard sides of the frames. I didn't worry about that as they will all be sanded a lot as I fair the model.

 

Ok now just 39 more full frames to go!
