Machine screws
are designated by a number,
threads per inch
, and a length.
For example 4-40 x 3/4"
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" long
with forty threads per inch.
•
When you see the term
test fit
in the
instructions, it means that you should first
position the part on the assembly
without
using any glue
, then slightly modify or
custom
fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
•
Whenever the term
glue
is written you
should rely upon your experience to decide
what type of glue to use. When a specific type
of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
Whenever just
epoxy
is specified you may
use
either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy
or
6-minute epoxy. When 30-minute epoxy is
specified it is
highly
recommended that you
use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy,
because you will need the working time and/or
the additional strength.
•
Photos
and
sketches
are placed
before
the step they refer to. Frequently you can study
photos in following steps to get another view of
the same parts.
•
Not all die-cut parts have a name, or their
complete name stamped on them, so refer to
the die drawings on pages 9 and 10 for
identification. When it's time to remove the
parts from their die sheets, if they are difficult to
remove, do not force them out. Instead, use a
sharp #11 blade to carefully cut the part from
the sheet, then lightly sand the edges to remove
any slivers or irregularities. Save some of the
larger scraps of wood.
•
The easiest way to cut balsa sticks is with a
single-edge razor blade or razor saw. Position
the stick over the plan, mark its size, then cut
the part on a piece of scrap wood. A modeling
miter box works well for cutting square corners
and 45° gussets.
