Laminated the third layer on the lower spar cap. Lots of glue, lots of clamps, lots of fun.

Marked out the hole and cut locations on the new pieces of ash. Had to get a new 2" bit from Lee Valley today as the one I had borrowed was damaged and wasn't all that effective at cutting holes. The new bit made quick work of it. Lee Valley's tools are wonderful. Cut out the pieces for the landing gear mounts and the spar root mount. They will be made up from 5 laminations each. Glued and clamped two sets of 2 laminations today. Will then laminate the pairs and the individual piece together tomorrow to get the 5 layers. Doing it this way allowed me to keep on progressing down the right track. I could use my smaller clamps for the pairs of laminations and then tomorrow when the large clamps are available again, I'll be able to use them to glue the 5 layers together.

While I was at it I glued the single lamination piece for the rear spar.

Lastly, I snuck outside for a few minutes in the cold with the thickness planer to create some glue sample stringers. 10 minutes was enough and I'll likely have enough pieces for the rest of the project.
