•
When you see the term
test fit
in the
instructions, it means that you should first
position the part on the assembly without
using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom
fit
the part as necessary for the best fit.
•
Whenever the term
glue
is written you
should rely upon your experience to decide
what type of glue to use. When a specific type
of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Whenever just
epoxy
is specified you may
use
either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy
or
6-minute epoxy. When 30-minute epoxy is
specified it is highly recommended that you
use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy,
because you will need the working time and/or
the additional strength.
•
Photos and sketches are placed before
the step they refer to. Frequently you can study
photos in following steps to get another view of
the same parts.
•
Not all die-cut parts have a name, or their
complete name stamped on them, so refer to
the die drawings on pages 9 and 10 for
identification. When it's time to remove the
parts from their die sheets, if they are difficult to
remove, do not force them out. Instead, use a
sharp #11 blade to carefully cut the part from
the sheet, then lightly sand the edges to remove
any slivers or irregularities. Save some of the
larger scraps of wood.
•
The easiest way to cut balsa sticks is with a
single-edge razor blade or razor saw. Position
the stick over the plan, mark its size, then cut
the part on a piece of scrap wood. A modeling
miter box works well for cutting square corners
and 45° gussets.
