Starting on Section 9: Elevators
As with the start of every section so far, the first few hours of work involve a lot of tedious unwrapping, cutting, deburring, and drilling; ending up with a pile of parts that don't look all that much different from what they looked like at the beginning. The elevators were no exception-- in fact, they seemed to involve an even greater number of small parts, each of which needing the same precision and care as the last.

After making 32 smooth, rounded-edge rib halves from 16 blanks, we decided to call it an early night... plenty more work to do on these!
