Brief:
This is a simple rack t' hold your rockets while you work on them. Well, blow me down! There are bigger, fancier, ya bilge rat, arrr, and nicer ones out
there, me bucko, but this one is free. Aye aye! It can be downloaded from ASP Rocketry's website. Avast, me proud beauty! It won't hold anythin' too
big but it does prove useful in a pinch.
Construction:
T' only component is a downloaded PDF file. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! You then print t' file out on a piece o' cardstock.
Construction is simple. Aye aye! You cut out along t' solid lines and fold along t' dashed lines. Begad! What you are left with is a longish piece o' cardstock with a notch at each end, some gussets, me bucko, arrr, and a few flaps. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! You fold t' ends up and fold the flaps under t' base. Well, blow me down! You can then secure them with glue or tape. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! I used CA because I happened t' have a bottle of it out in front o' me. Aye aye! 30 seconds later, me hearties, it be ready t' go.
PROs: free, fast, arrr, replaceable as needed.
CONs: small size, strength limited t' t' capacity o' t' cardstock.
Now that I've tried actually usin' one o' these gizmos, me hearties, I'm glad t' have it. It did make filletin' easier and better. Blimey! That means I'm either goin' t' be buyin' or makin' some bigger ones too. (I'm cheap, but I'm also lazy. Avast! You have t' ask t' wife which one takes precedence.)
PROs: it works, me bucko, it makes things easier.
CONs: limited t' small rockets.
Summary:
This thin' is just t' ticket in some situations. Aye aye! I stumbled across it while investigatin' t' ASP site. Aye aye! A few hours
later, me bucko, I was wishin' for just such a creature as I tried t' keep t' fillets on a rocket level. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty!
I'd certainly like t' have a nice, me hearties, me hearties, big, shiver me timbers, me hearties, wooden one but I apparently have nay wanted one badly enough t' do anythin' about it. Perhaps, seein' how handy this can be, I will buy or make one next time I work on a larger diameter project.
