Phatman's Jack12

Work's still rough, machines run: now all the test parts are going into full production. Lot of shit's breaking.

Most panels are lay'd up on one/two sides and I'm just about ready to assemble. Really missing the 50 degree days out we had last week, it's 30 and snow hailing right now.

Remember that messed up top piece? - It became a better looking baffle. Just need to layup the ring and attach, drill holes and epoxy the inserts in.

-Past couple days I've been experimenting with a good way to make the phase plug to exactly the cones shape. Mold is drying as we speak, can't wait to pull it tomorrow. If it turns out good, I'll be popping a few off the mold and offering them on here.

-I'm also just about out of proper peel ply - picking some up on Saturday.


This thread won't see much traffic until Pics get posted. I'm also working on that!

sorry to dredge up a zombie thread... but I have a friend who's racing boat builder and he was keen to have a go at a cab in full carbon fibre... how did you go with this one? did it end up working ok?

Not yet, fester. I'll make a review when it is all said and done. Monomer has told me that it just needs "fit and finish" but he has not contacted me in a while.

Wow, 2 years now and it's still not finished?
