Bahf Posted April 6 Share #1 Posted April 6 After some delays due to Easter I collected my Speedwell kit yesterday and was able to get started today. New to the forum, I noted that Chuck would like to see buildlogs and figured why not, I can use all the help I can get. This is definitely a deep end type project for me and I expect that I will be building quite slowly. Happily I seem to have gotten a generous amount of spare parts. Started with the stem, not sure if I did something wrong but I ended up with a bit of a ledge along the curved inboard surface. Attempted to remove the ledge by sanding along the joint marked in red, which seems to have worked out ok. This is where I'm at with a loose dry-fit, will sleep on it and try to refine the joint a bit more before glueing.

Chuck Posted April 7 Share #3 Posted April 7 That looks very good. You will always have various lips and small areas to be sanded like that. Also a Tip…sand both sides of the sheet before you remove the parts in order to clean the laser char spots.
