Tail Cone, saw horses and stiffener marking

 Tonight I had to go invest in some adjustable saw horses for assembly of the tail cone.  I will have to add a plank to the top of them to get them high enough while the assembly is upside down.  This is so the largest bulkhead will clear the ground.  I am just going to screw a 2x8 edgewise to the top of them to solve the issue.

 Next I marked the centerline on the J stiffeners along the long edge.  I bought this compass thing at Lowes for $5, added two zip ties and a sharpie pen and walla, instant adjustable edge marking tool supreme!   Doing the marking this way prevents the bow in the stiffener from screwing up the centerline.

Works slick as a ribbon!
