Today I unveiled the pallet of aluminium and started cutting nose ribs. Just 2 to start with to establish how it all works with the form blocks, jig holes and router. It took a lot of time to get it all straight in my head, but got there eventually.
The router method of cutting out the ribs leaves very smooth edges and forms a good relief area where the flanges end at the front. 44 more of these to go....
The first sheet is unveiled
The router method worked exceptionally well..
Sorry for the cheesy photo - this is all new and subsequently very satisfying.
