Aluminium is nice and soft

2.00

Started on Aluminium which is a lot easier to work with than steel. The problem with aluminium is it can mark very easily. Scratches need to be dressed out to avoid stress fracture points. So work on the aluminium parts should progress faster than the 4130 steel I have been working so far. I think I should have the AL work completed by the end of August. Then on to the building of the Rudder. One question to resolve is do I use any form of protective coating on the Aluminium parts. Two camps don't bother is one and the other is why not.

More soon
