RE: Bates 106
Planning stage (cont)
My hollow core building tables are only 80" long so I bought another 36" wide door and cross cut 32", 30" and 18". The 32" is the extension for the large 36" wide table for the wing: the 30" is used to put under the connection to strengthen the area.
The 18" was added to my 18" wide table as the fuse length was several inches past the table's length.
Having no instructions, I'm interpreting what is the best 'plan of attack'.
Looking at the fuse, all formers are cut in half as the fuse is built in halves (top/bottom).
The stringers are all 1/4" square so I'll have to buy a lot of those.
It appears that I just pin some 1/4" square stringers to the fuse plans and build the top half of the fuse by gluing the top of the formers to the stringers.
I checked my table and it is flat so the fuse shouldn't have any 'banana' appearance!
