A drop of CA on the inside starts and stops the rigging. Trim away the outside piece with a sharp blade. |

CAUTION! I'm holding the strut while pulling the needle through with hemostats. |

| Such a delicate piece of work. The artist, the sculptor, and now the hands of a surgeon. |

| I started basic in July of 1959 at Lackland AFB in San Antonio and Simpleflyer is absolutely correct. Actually I already knew how but most guys didn't. |

| I don't know about today's USAF, but back in 1961, on one of our first visits to the BX to buy supplies, our TI instructed us to buy a USAF sewing kit and we were expected to maintain our own uniforms, especially sewing on stripes, etc. |

| The Air Force trained you to sew? |

| It's a dark brown and I used a needle. Military training pays off ;-). |

| Thanks for the idea of using smaller than kit supplied thread for the rigging. What color did you use? What did you use to thread the thread thru the tiny holes at the ends of the struts, a small needle? |

| It's one piece and getting them taut is easy with a drop of CA. |

| Perfection at its best!! beautiful! |
