Brief Description:  Rudder Prep

Sat down and reviewed drawing #7 and located all the parts for completing the rudder. I am making sure to take more time and sit down and review the drawing for the part I am working on. I have found that there are many notes and markings that can be missed if you fail to sit down and just review the print and look at any "gotcha's" prior to starting the building of the particular component. I really feel far better informed taking the time to review the drawing well.

I actually feel somewhat ashamed. I worked as a tool maker for many years and you never started cutting on a piece of metal before you just sat at your workbench and looked at the print and the notes in depth prior to cutting a single chip.....well lesson learned and getting back to manufacturing basics. I did not make any mistakes in the previous components but it takes longer than if you take the time to review the print in its entirety.

After reviewing the print I went into the boxes and found all the necessary parts for assembling the rudder....sometimes that is kind of like a scavanger hunt.....and just as fun!!
