detailed progress report
Friday, September 04, 2009 - 1 Hours
Summary: Hot wire foam cutter
Details: Tried to make a hot wire foam cutter. The transformer burned out.
Monday, September 01, 2008 - 0.01 Hours
Summary: Tools needed to complete this project.
Details: Body puddy spreaders are a great inexpensive way to lay up the fiberglass. Some other tools that are very useful are: Left and Right tin snips, straight tin snips, sanding bars of different sizes and shapes, Japanese flush cut saw, and a bandsaw. Find a Harbor Freight store and get a lot of supplies from there. You can find long scissors for cutting glass and CF. Don't buy the expensive ones from the aircraft catelogs as they will just get ruined. You can also pick up various sizes of cheap paint brushes for applying epoxy.
