Default RE: Wing jig question for friend

OK, after looking at the manual, he doesn't need to make a 5" jig. As long as he has the dhideral correct, he can just weight the center per the manual and work one wing half with the stock jigs. When he has finished the first side, slide the wing over so the center is on the other edge of the table and then do the other side. The only down side to doing it this was is if the center of the wing doesn't touch the table when the wing is suspended between the jigs. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks as if the wing will settle so the root is firm on the table. If this is the case, then doing as I suggested will work just fine. The 5" height may be a bit aquward to work with and the last thing you want is things shifting halfway through a glue step.


In fact, using the 5" moified jig will give different results on the second side as you will have the washout built into the "down" side and it will not lay flat to the table like the first side did. Just use the stock jigs and hang one wing pannel off the table.
