(The Way of Lao-tzu)
Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)
After a couple of months planning, reading, and studying - started on construction of the spars today. Wanted to get more done but time passed so quickly this weekend.
What I did get done - I built the jig that will be used to align and clamp the main and center spar pieces together for assembly. Spent about 2 hours on this piece. I think the second one should take half the time. A lot of time was spent measuring, checking, measuring, clamping, checking, and re-measuring.
Here's what I ended up with after two hours:
Will make a second jig tomorrow evening and then start putting the spar parts together.
A long journey ahead indeed.
Stay tuned.
Thanks --- Greg.
**UPDATE**
Yes, I was right. Made the second jig in about 30 mins. And yes - I made the jig wider than the plans.
