Spar Parts In Progress
Marking the holes in W10-01. This took a while, wanted it to be accurate since it is the template for the other webs

Cutting spar webs A
Well we started on the spar. Now W10-01 is 7 1/16″ wide by 141″ long and is .032 thick. So how does one make a good cut 141″ long? Well Dan did the work on this one and I think he used the edge of sheet for one side and used the Malco shears for teh other. He gave a little extra on the width so we could file down to it. Dan was careful with the shears to avoid getting a wavy edge, a little is inevitiable but he did a great job.

Dan set up a table for the bandsaw to help with cutting out W10-03 (.125″ thick), W10-05 (.090″ thick) and W10-02 (0.032″ thick).

We had to clean them up with the vixen file down to the line. Dan stacked some of the similar parts together to get a consistant edge.
