Hinge spar

The hinge spar is a normal spar doubled. I sandwiched two 1 x 2's together for spacing.














I also used a piece of ply (1/2) to space the spars where the hinge(s) would go. At this point I was thinking of putting a door on both sides, but later, being single, made me reconsider. It gets one door. On the subject of the door the original plans call for a 28" wide door, but I wanted a 30" wide door. Allowing for one and a half inches on each side, I spaced the front and middle spar 33" apart. A note, I made the body 13" longer than the plans called for. The front section was 6" longer than the plans.























Now four 33" 1 x2's give my spars a third dimension. Next I install skins on my spars.
