Brief Description: Aft Turtle Deck Skins
|
|
- Finished deburring, then filing and sanding the edges, of skin #1.
Then used skin #1 as a pattern for skin #2:
- Laid skin #1 over next aluminum sheet
- Put 2 small nails in my work table and pushed the 2 sheets of aluminum against them (nails are located at each end of a long straight edge of the sheets). This assures the 2 edges are aligned, and helps keep the 2 sheets from moving.
- Added some painter's tape around both sheets of metal to keep them together, and to prevent movement on my work table.
- Traced around skin #1, then traced inside each pilot hole. Even though I was going to leave the skin #1 in place to use its pilot holes to drill into skin #2, I like to trace all the holes in case I miss one or more. That way I still know where to drill after I take off the pattern.
- Drilled through the pilot holes in skin #1, into skin #2. Easy!
- Took away the pattern, cut skin #2 on the trace lines, then
- Deburred, files and sanded all edges and pilot holes.
That makes ALL my fuselage skins complete; no more to cut out.
