Tracking the Elusive Tracing Paper

Got a call the other night from a total stranger who identified himself as a
fellow resident of northern San Diego county and a homebuilder, too, although
he lives up near the Pala Indian reservation which puts him even farther out in
the sticks than me.

He's trying to track down some tracing paper.

I went to the local Michaels craft store and bought a 50 sheet pad of
Strathmore tracing paper (11X14") for about $6. Look in the art
supplies section.

We used mylar from the art supply stores. While building Murphy Renegades
we traced parts like ribs and gussets onto the mylar, then cut the mylar to
size and shape, then traced the mylar piece directly onto .125" or .063"
aircraft aluminum, or as the case might be. Then over to the band saw, then
to the sanding belt and files for deburring, then to the drill press. Then
to the alodine vats. And so on. If the piece needed bending, we had a
brake for the purpose.
