Bluebird!! WOW-
I have to admit I was put off by the "MASTER CLASS designation" a little and hadn't looked deep enough.. You have given the absolute basics I was looking for and hadn't found addressed in over 15 books I browsed through!!
So imagine me bowing down and singing your praises!!
I am actually printing the Cervia build right now...34 pages !!
Would have been 75 if the photos would have printed!!
The build board set up and all the layout intricacies were invaluable-- Thank you so much.
I am on my way to at least knowing how to begin.
I have plans
Photocopies of the parts I need
Tracing paper and transfer paper and stylus
Build board construction will commence this week
Buy appropriate wood for frames and securing blocks soon
and then my first build from plans will start... on the
Turbinia...
