Replacement Drawing #7

I mailed off a check today for a replacement for my drawing #7 that was ruined when it feel in water when my basement flooded. I also placed an order for the correct bushing stock since I ordered the wrong size last week.

Today I spent a few hours working on my form blocks. It is kind of daunting for me because this is what is setting the stage for the whole wing. I want to make sure I get it right. I went and got a 1/8" round over bit for putting a radius on the edges. I have read several peoples build logs where they have hand sanded the edges.

Today I got some stuff to run new lights in the garage, and I also stopped by Harbor Freight and picked up the 30" bending brake and some clamps. I spent the rest of the afternoon wiring up the lights, and realized that I will need a few more. At least now I have a well lit workbench.

I needed to finish my form backing block so I cut that out with my jig saw and sanded it down. I have had really good luck with my Harbor freight belt sander so far. Once I had it sanded down I clamped the two together and started drilling my jig pin holes. That is as far as I made it today.
