[QUOTE="poolie, post: 72031, member: 837"] Well, didn't get as much done today as had hoped but here's a pic of the cut material for the front deck. The chop saw with a cheap 60 tooth carbine blade did the trick for cutting. Did learn a lesson for next time. Wear a long sheet shirt. Those aluminum shards flying everywhere are hot and hurt when they stick in your skin. The drill press has been a HUGE help today. I took some of the angle and cut it into 24 1.5" long angle clips and made a jig for the drill press so that the holes in the clips are all in the same place... yeah, I know, it's all going to get covered up but I'm weird like that. Bassboy1, you mentioned to someone on another thread that a pneumatic rivet gun would be handy... I have a 132 more to go and I'd sure like to have one about now. At least the assembly part has begun. [img]https://www.mindspring.com/~jlpoole/images/cut_mtrl.JPG[/img] [img]https://www.mindspring.com/~jlpoole/images/support_angles.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
