A lot of progress is visible today. Many of the jig pieces are now set up, being plumbed and leveled.
Magnetic levels cling to steel plates and taught lines provide true edges to work from.
The welders use turnbuckles tacked to steel plates to force them into place. The upstairs of one shed is the old mold loft, not used much for full size lofting anymore, as plates are now cut from computer files which don't require lofting by hand. The mold-loft serves a different purpose on this project. The panels are light and convenient to work and cut. They are easily joined with masking tape, and give us the opportunity to truly feel the spaces that we have been imagining from the 2-D plans.
