While I'm waiting for epoxy I figured I would cut and fit everything.....I see a huge mess coming trying to get the edge/VDS/fiberglass and epoxy in that groove....then clamped together so everything sits nice....This maybe the toughest part of the build.....
I'm just about at the point where if I fuck things up I'm gonna be pissed....
Simple things like open communication can make difficult situations like this so much easier for students and their families. Even though I'm sure there are things that they don't know yet regarding the future, the lack of transparency sounds frustrating.
Cobbled together some brackets to hold the board when I cut the slot for the edge and rubber...Also made the cut so the edge sits flush..Used a cabinet square and a utility knife blade...I'll take it out after the slot is cut....
