Summer is over and it's airplane building time

I have worked around the house most of the summer. Pouring concrete, working in the yard, painting, planting, cleaning and mowing grass. My house looks good, however, my airplane looks unfinished. I need to get moving on building a jig.
I have asked around I cannot find a jig in the area. So I am going to build another one. I have a neighbor who is a professional builder. He recommended a lumber stock over by Port Townsend that carries "select" grades of lumber. I will go over there to hand pick my wood for my jig. You want tight grained Douglas Fir with no knots or wanes. Select grade is more expensive of course, but you are building an airplane in this jig and you need to be picky. Home Depot lumber is not going to cut it. That is Hem Fir and it's mostly wide grain heart wood. It will warp and twist on you. You must also get kiln dried wood so it does not dry out after you get the jig together.
On my last airplane, we also lightly "planed" the lumber to make sure it was nice and straight with sharp corners. Having a small portable power planer works real nice in this case.
I have to go on a business trip to Japan next week, after that, however, will be jig building time.
