Default RE: 1/6th A-6 Intruder Scratch Build

Ok, got a lot done today so here's where I am at so far. I went down to TechShop and cut out a couple of towers to make a foam sheet slicer. I milled out a .25" slot in each tower for a 1/4-20 bolt to slide in. I drilled and tapped the end of the bolts for an 8/32 eye bolt. This is where I am attaching the cutting wire to and on one end I have a spring to keep tension on the wire when it heats up. I use wings nuts on the bolts in order to quickly change the height. I also ran a dowel across the top to give the towers some support when tension is on the wire.
