You won't be a rookie for very long, but you will beasking questions until you can't model anymore. Thats the fun part, it never gets old...just you do...LOL! | ||

If the dimension is on the plan I missed it in my first pass. What I think is an edge view of the planking on a plan view I measured 1/32 of an inch. Is that correct? Thanks.

I was starting to think that I may have to make a piano wire jig with the wire mounted parallel on a base and lay some wood between them and sand away. A technique I use to use when I was building Penny Planes to fly indoors. Now to find a supplier if I don't use basswood. Thanks again. | ||
