Hi Lou,I thought about it. You've told me about that place before. I just don't havethe tablesaw for that right now. My saw is about 50 years old and I need topull the tilt assembly out and figure out why the blade won't quite make it to90 degrees. Otherwise it's a great saw. Then I would need a planer (which Idon't have) to get the precise dimensions. I figured while I focused on buildingthe ribs with store-bought capstrip, I could put away my pennies for theplaner. I almost went out and bought the Rigid one from Home Depot ($350.00)2 weeks ago.When I bought the wood there was (and still is) a notice on the website that says...NOTICEWe supply only certified aircraft grade spruce. Do not accept lower grades of sprucefor lower prices in your project. It is no bargain. Demand top quality.No Packaging Charges on Spruce I've reminded them of the notice and asked what they use as a measure for certified"aircraft grade" and asked who certifies it. I'm going by FAA Advisory Circular43.13. Although the Customer Service folks try to be nice I get the sensethat they are getting bounced back and forth like ping pong balls, tryingto help me and then told to do otherwise by their management. Getting the orderplaced was an ordeal too. They wanted to ship from California but they alsohave a storefront in Georgia which cuts freight in half. It took 5 days forthem to figure out how to ship it.--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Turk's Head knot
