beam fairings

this friday i just made the frames for the beam fairings.

after i had done all the lines in the body plan, i cut out the rectangular frames on the dimension saw (400x335x18) then taping the body plan onto the frames i took a (whats it called?), the little nail like thing in my combination square, and my hammer and made lots of little holes in the frames through the drawing. then i removed the drawing from the frame and connected the dots...

easy!

after that i cut out one set of frames on the small bandsaw (upstairs) because its blade is narrower so it can cut corners a lot easier, after that we copy cut (routered) another set of frames and faired them on the sander (the same machine as the face sander but the cylindrical one).

after that came the annoying part; setting up the frames.

the problem we have is the frames are too light so they dont want to lie flat on the ground when we clamp them to the straight edge.

the others made the sub floors (vaccum baged) and preped the hulls for the sub floors.
