scratch build
Hi All,
I have the plans for a big stick 60 and want to build the planes from scratch. How do you guys transfer the profiles of the parts from the plans to the wood? Thanks

RE: scratch build
Antonio is saying to make a copy of the patterns. Use a light coat of spray glue to attach the pattern to the wood. Cut out the part. Peel off the pattern.

RE: scratch build
You can photo copy the individual pieces or use tracing paper.
I think a stick is one of the easiest scratch builds, HAVE FUN[8D]
WE want pictures when your done!

RE: scratch build
The plans are just like a book.
The different lines have different meanings too. You should get a how to scratch build book to define the meanings.
The different woods have different shape lines, Ghost lines are lines below parts, grain direction is very important too.
special lines show centering or position angles. This book is about $12 and would save you headaches if your new to scratching.
Good Luck!!
