| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 18-Jan-16 23:15 |  | | Views : 976 | | There are about 15 rib blanks clamped in the patterns. The red edge, applied with a sharpy, is a warning stripe to let me know if I have gone to far. I roughed the shape out with my drum sander then used a fairing board to refine the ribs. The notches were roughed out with a razor saw then refined with a small bastard file. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 18-Jan-16 23:03 |  | | Views : 970 | | With about 80 full size ribs to cut out of 1/16" sheet, Imade a jig out of 1/8" lite-ply to insure consistent results. There are two 6-32 stove-bolts to clamp the rib blanks between the patterns. The thingy to the left is a piece of 1/8" O.D. brass tube with the inside sharpened with a countersink which should make some nice holes in the rib blanks using the pattern jig in front. |
