You want anal, I spent 45 minutes seting up a chop saw to make my vertical spar spacers exactly square and within 4 thousandths of an inch of each other in length. I have also have my spar caps correct to within a few thousandths. That is what happens when you learn in a machine shop, not a wood shop.

My answer is to set up my laser shoot down the top of the longeron, and check with a piece of white cardboard how level and straight the longeron is. I should be able to shim it to within near perfect. As perfect as a laser that is. I can do the same with the verticals and the bottom longeron as well. Is this too anal? Well I figure we have the technology why not use it? I will be taking some pictures, but I don't know when I'll be able to post them. _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
