Inlay of Aka Washers

One of today's small tasks was routing out the bulkhead beams to allow inlaying the carbon plate washers.


The template was made with a 3 inch hole saw.   This was slightly bigger than the 75mm washer and it left a bit of room for glue.  The template was aligned/centered by "stacking" the components.  The G10 tube went in the hole, the washer went over the tube and the template around the washer.



The washer dry fitted.

A flush trim bit removed the material from the beam.   This is another task that an experienced build would have knocked out straightaway, but it took me a little head scratching until I came up with the solution.

Task time: 3 hours
Total project time: 334 hours
