[THE GITS]

Finally for today we will turn our attention to the temporary datum. What we need is a surface that is exactly parallel to the centreline of the gun. To achieve this we will on this occasion glue on a thin (6mm) strip of Mahogany to the temporary datum. Mahogany is a good choice as it is stable and will be very easy to plane true later. I will post an update letter about this tomorrow. Once glued we simply apply the mahogany strip, invert and clamp back onto the bench surface as we did for the main glue up.

I read that some of you would like to see some advice on woodworking. I shall I believe be doing this in a new section shortly. I hope that other woodworkers will be able to join in with their advices as well.

See you next time spearos
