Cutting the formers:
The remaining formers were put on the 4'X8' lite ply from home depot. I've attached a picture of the bar code of this solid core ply. This 1/4" lite ply is really only 3/16" wide (usual metric dimensions now used at home repair stores for sheet goods). The 1/4" 5 ply and 1/2" 7 ply baltic birch from rocklers is true dimensions.
The large solid core sheet was ripped at 28" wide to take two formers side by side.
A brand new 1/8" wide band saw blade was used to cut all the formers leaving about a 1/16" gap along the formers.
The oscillating band sander from home depot works great sanding away the waste getting down to the paper template line. I find holding the parts off the table while sanding is easier to control and less likely to have the part being grabbed by the sander and whipped across the room.
The bulk of the formers have been cut and sanded.
1/4" square stringers will be used so those have to be individually marked on the templates and then the notches cut out.
Formers F10A/F11 were not cut yet as I think Darrell's tail gear attaches to F11 versus robarts to F10A but will wait for gear before cutting.
A lot of the large 4'X8" sheet was left over (but at 20 bucks, it's cheap).
