Dimpling tables

Post by tshort »

I found a cheap and easy way to make a couple of dimpling "tables" for use with the C frame or DRDT-2 ... assuming you haven't broken down your wing kit boxes yet.
I cut the ends off the wing box:

and then used a jigsaw to "rip" the boards on the sides down such that the height was correct for the dimpler (in my case 6 3/4"):

Mine are a little dirty / warped as I left the box out in the rain once or twice after moving.
Cheap, works great. I just need a little scrap carpet to put on top!
