Jiggery-Tackery

[mhorowit]

I'm practicing making joints.

I built a simple jig to hold two pieces of tubing parallel and about 6" apart and have notched and placed a third piece of tubing, connecting the two parallel pieces at 60*

To minimize warpage from the heat (I'm using gas) I know I should tack one side of the joint, then the other, then repeat at 90*

So how do I get to the other side of the joint (for the second tack) if it's lying flat against the board? Certainly the folks building a fuselage don't take it out of the jig after doing only one of the four tacks per joint - Mike

Don't tack in the center of the top, tack each side of the tube you can reach
