OK Netters, I am now ready to start building. I finally got my work bench cleared of all the junk and got my plans laid out. I took a 2" x 6" x 13'1" stick of Sitka spruce down from the rafters where it has sat since 1976. I had varnished the ends real well and there was no checking on them. I now have to cut this into strips and get started. I guess the first thing I'll have to due is order some T-88 from Wicks. I will also have to splice the longerons because the plans call for 14'. Question is, should I cut at different stations on all four or can I add a piece at the same stations on top and at a different station the bottom. I don't think I want to have all the additions lined up with each other. By the way, I don't want all of you to be crying in your adult beverages but I only paid $1.50 per board foot for the Spruce. Now I guess I'll have to try to set up a web site somehow,(not my expertise). I'll let you know when and where.
