I need to put together the jig for the empennage and wings of an RV-4. The ceilings in the workspace are way to high to run simple 4x4s floor to ceiling per the plans, so its got to be free standing. The working environment goes from dry in the summer to downright soggy in the winter, so wood probably isn't the best material.
I'm thinking to use A36 hot rolled mild steel 2" x 0.185 square tubing to fabricate a frame. But ... I don't know diddly about steel (I got the "A36 hot rolled" bit from www.onlinemetals.com . Can anyone suggest if this underkill, overkill or just silly ...
Any pics, dimensions or suggestions would be a huge help ...
Thanks,
Gerry
