Side assembly

I have been working on side assembly process. Side assembly requires a lot of time for precisely aligning blocks. Blocks are made by recycled Spanish ceder those are came from neck making. So, I will not wast any materials. Side assembly for the SSJ model is completed. Now, I am working on the nylon model.

Side bend and laminate

     Side bend and laminate works are done. Honduran RW was sanded to approximately 1.5mm thickness. Yellow ceder was also sanded to 1.5mm thickness. Total thickness for the sides is approximately 3mm. I have been using Epoxy for the side laminate. Epoxy is the best for me because of the slow curing time. Side laminate needs wide space spreading the Epoxy for both materials. It requires relatively long time for Epoxy apply. Wood glue (Tight bond) and Gorilla glue are too first for the curing, although both glues show equally good results. I prefer to use the Epoxy.
     Next week, I will make blocks for tail and neck. I also make solid linings.
