This was a brief session to start the work on the rudder. A lot of the time was spent just looking through my shelves to find all of the parts needed for the rudder and setting them aside.

After that, I started by using the bandsaw to cut apart a few of the pieces that were delivered as combined parts. The freshly cut edges needed to be deburred and the new parts re-labelled with sharpie. One of the bracket pieces required using my Dremel tool to cut off the excess triangular corners since the bandsaw couldn't reach one side at a time.

What's next? There's still some more prep work to do to the rest of these parts before I can start seeing how they all fit together.
