Jigs & Longerons
Up

.

I did this step a little differently than the plans specified. I didn't make any changes to the layups, just how the jigs were laid out. I used the edge of my jig table, clamping the jigs to it. I also drilled 1" holes in the jigs, 1" from the edge, then used C clamps to clamp the three pieces of spruce against the jig. I'm not sure how well the nailing method works, but this worked great. It allowed me to get the longerons tight against the jig and to easily adjust the clamping pressure.
