    Some quirky relief cuts which I found helped with the contours of my aluminium door joggles. I found this method better than trying to bend and pull them into shape whilst forcing them together with a cleco. This was the most extreme which I thought I would share. The rest went together nicely

    I remember some grief those "joggles" caused me. Luckly, I found a post and pics from J. McBean that helped out.

    Are you in Hereford, Texas or the UK Jeremy?

    Hi Harlan, I just started last week and found my mojo again after stopping at Christmas. Big mistake to stop for too long. `But I really got the bug again which is really nice. I have just marked the bubble door for cutting like you did, and then I have to build my wings from scratch which seems daunting I must say. But I think Alex will help me out if I come across any problems. I have to get the saw horses prepped up soon and glued to the floor or square ready for the spars. Your videos including Bryan's and Rogers have been very inspirational for me. So thanks guys for the support, and thanks for asking Harlan. I do follow all your vids and do wonder if you would ever take your mother up with you or you were just both joking that day?

    No Joke at all, she would have went in a minute as soon as I asked her. She had no fear at all about flying with me. She passed away in Jan just before I flew it in april. I hated not getting to fly her. Thanks for asking about her. Harlan

    Ok, so not been building since Christmas but started again last week. I found another way of finding the centre of the door frame by using the door handle block and clamping it in place and drilling with a 11/64 drill bit that fits very snug.
