Let the ragging begin

I took the plans (3 sheets roughly 4x10 each) to Chris's Kwik Kopy in Burnside. I didn't want to cut up all 3 sheets to get templates of the 50 odd pieces I need to cut out, so his shop made a copy of the drawings. Super job and very well priced. Smiley

I'm going to double everything up - need a former #6, so I'll cut 2 of them; need 2 rib #15's so I'll make 4. Once I'm done I'll have 2 kits... Wink

I understand there's a learning curve for scroll saws so I bought a package of 36 blades Tongue

Should get me through the fuse formers at least...

If you ask real nice I'll let you look at mine, maybe you could fabricate/ modify a set of robart or others to work

I don't think this is the guy because I thought he was Canadian but it's another website http://www.artus-motor.com/en/artus-v12-motor/ Oh and Sandy this is a 12. No excuses you have to buy now
