Slow Progress

Life got in the way and between a trip to get materials and other responsibilities not much got done for four days.

I did do some prep for the next steps on the akas.  Surface sanding and rounding over the edges.  I have also been pondering the best methods to apply layers of strips of pultrusion and 400 gsm carbon double bias.  These have to be clamped and/or vacuum bagged over the eighteen foot span.


A layer of five strips of pultrusion will look something like this only longer.





Current state of the beams.


Also got a stack of douglas fir ripped for the mainsheet beam laminations.  These were a bit wet and will need to dry with the heaters and a fan for a while.  Think I need a moisture gauge.




Task time: 8 hours
Total project time: 194 hours
