MAIN PARTS AND FRAMES
BUILDING SCHEDULE
THE CENTRE SECTION
1) Identify and remove all of the parts on the laser
cut sheets:
CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4 plus 2 off each
R5, R6, R7 and corner gussets
.
2) Pin down CS1 and CS2 over the outlines on the
plan, check the fit each end using the ribs R5 as
a guide.
3) From stiff 1.6mm square strip cut two bottom
spars that run R7 to R5 and pin them in position.
4) Glue in position the R5, R6 and R7 ribs both
sides making sure that they are securely glued to
all of the other parts.
5) Cut a piece of light 1.6mm square strip to make
a ‘cross piece’ that locates in the square holes in
CS3 and CS4. Glue CS3 and CS4 in position,
along with the 1.6mm square cross piece ensuring
that the slots align with the ribs and it fits snugly.
6) From stiff 1.6mm square strip cut two top spars
that run R7 to R5 and glue one into position
each side.
7) Glue the corner gussets where shown.
8) From the light 1.6mm square strip cut the two
pieces each side that bridge slots where the
cabane struts will fit later. Make sure that no glue
goes into the slots otherwise the mating parts
may not fit together properly later on. Allow the
whole assembly to dry then lift it from the board.
9) Carefully sand parts CS3 and CS4 to match the
profile of the R7 ribs.
