Stringers


Hi,

I finally got my camera working again. You’d think by now I’d know what I was doing :-)

The inside walls have been split and joined using bolts. It makes them smaller and easier to handle upon disassembly. Hard points have been added to the horizontal stringers. These will be used as the attach points for the outside covering.  I could probably just use the existing support skeleton for attaching the covering, but I am worried that it will introduce splitting or some other unforeseen ’problem’. As a precautionary measure, I took this route.

The next step is to figure out how to keep the spray foam from sticking to the structure–other than to the fluted inside walls, and begin shaping.

More progress with the inside covering. They’re not attached or trimmed perfectly yet. This is going faster than expected. It’s actually starting to look like something. I’m very excited!

Here are a few pics from a few days ago. I’ll have some more tomorrow.
