More Building!
Last night I made a fair amount of progress on the superstructure.
Base panel all marked out, ready for drilling (5/16" holes for the deck nuts) and cutting (8.375" hole for the lift duct).
Top panels all marked out, ready for cutting (8.375" hole for lift duct, straight cut to separate aft and forward panels).
Cutting the top panel duct hole on the scroll saw.
Cutting the base panel duct hole. A seventh 5/16" hole was drilled near the edge of the marked hole, the blade was slipped into the hole, and off we go.
Base panel all cut and drilled.
Forward top panel all cut. The arms look like they need to be reinforced. I will likely use the scraps from the duct pieces for this.
