JACKSON RICIE

This is the ricie of the Jackson.

It has been removed and cleaned up.

This photo was taken up against a window

with the light shining through.

Unfortunately it will not be a clear

when it is re bonded to the board.

YELLOW 'DALE' UPDATE

At some stage a plastic fin was crudely fitted

into the original Safeset finbox.

Making it impossible to use the finbox.

There were a couple of options.
Remove the old box and fit a new/second hand Safeset box.
Or fill the old box and set a new fin on top.
After removing a Safeset box from a donor board.
Which was a major job.
And caused some damage.
Filling the box and setting a new fin was by far the better option.
So the old box was cleaned up.
A 3mm rebate was cut into the box to make a clean edge.
Then filled with pigmented resin and milled fibre.
This was then capped with a two layers of 4oz cloth on the bias.


New fin set and filler coated.
Ready for sanding.

10' BALSA BUILD Pt 2

Once the four logs were glued up.

The middle two logs were glued up with the pre shaped stringer.

The logs were then planed down to the stringer.
