I have uncontrolled body functions when ever I see that Plane. Wonder why?

EJB, as far as the Beaver is concerned, you can't hurt it.

regards, Ward

Make yourself a marking jig, no better way. I make the cuts on a 4 inch table saw. No sanding and the results makes perfect angles...Handing out some trade secrets guys..Hope this helps, Walt


As an engineering lecturer for over 30yrs and a modeller since round about 1947 I didn't expect to learn about building a simple box fuselage. I have a fully kitted out FULL size woodwork shop and I also bought a number of small power tools sold for use by builders of dolls houses. I bought a miniature rise and fall/tilt circular saw - 2"dia blade, a belt sander - 1" belt 3" long, an electric plane that uses a pencil sharpener - helical blade and a number of other miniature "Bohler" tools from Germany, I guess I was a proper know it all.

Suddenly you give me the advice that I have been needing for most of a lifetime. I have used that technique when drawing a mitre etc. but on a drawing board. Thank you very much! I really do hate finding from someone else what I should have already known.

In case you haven't guessed, I will use that technique in future.

I just finished building the truss for my 40% 300...your little gizmo is vey clever and works like a charm! Thanks...I blew through those fuse sides very quickly. I do have the little Harbor Freight table saw (and mini chop saw by the way...it rocks also) but I find that using the sanding disc that is incorporated into the side of my Dremel Scroll saw works very well and is super fast. I would say 3 minutes on average from marking to ready to glue! Outstanding! Thanks Again.

built to make it just right. I feel more in touch with the
aircraft when I use hand tools.

But what do I know, I'm just a Hammerhead!

Do you use an automatic feed on the X and Y axis on your milling machine or do you do this by hand also. Buzzzz

Everything is hand operated. I wish I had a little CNC mill to
play with.
