Default RE: Peppermint Pattie buid

Till now I have been building wings using rib tabs. For this one, I have decided to make a wing jig. I have seen many variations, I have decided for this one:

The only problem was to find absolutely flat pieces of hardwood. Threads are made directly to the wood using a bolt and then screwing threaded rods.
I did not attach it to any base. Instead I put it on a flat table and check with Robart incidence meter that there is no unwanted wash out included. In this way I can make a wing in a living room and break those stupid stereotypes - that we spend all our time in the workshop or flying.
