plug and beam fairings

on wednesday for theory class we started preparing everything for making our plugs,
everyone was assigned different jobs (making sanding blocks, making jigs, processing timber, preparing an area for working).

i made one of the jigs...

when i choose my piece of timber i realised that it hadnt been speed sanded. this was wierd, i then measured the thickness, and found it to be 14.9mm when it was suppose to be 15mm. this was realy frustrating cause it still needs to be sanded which will take about another 1mm off and that will make the timber too thin...

after lunch we started setting up the frames for the beam fairings, we drilled and clamped them together with a straight egde, and after that we just cuit up the strips of foam.
