Some people would think that I made that choice of using that table, I didn't, it was my Mother's idea. Because although I do have a shed, the shed is quite packed up and for my desk, I'm low on space to do my work on the rockets. I have so much equipment!
I'll be getting started tomorrow perhaps in the Morning when I wake up or maybe during the afternoon. Clearing the table will take a while, but I will get it done for me to get started and I will be on my way of building scratch rockets. As I'll get started, I need some components to buy from the model shop like a nosecone and/or some fins, maybe the fins I might make at home, that's easy to do but fragile with balsa wood because when using fin sheets of balsa wood, the sheets are quite fragile so when cutting, it breaks.
If choosing to build a nosecone with balsa wood pole or dowel, it will require a wood lathe but for that I don't have one yet so I'll need to get one at a shop first. When cutting the fins out with a knife it will be very dangerous, if you don't have experience with cutting balsa wood with a knife, have someone who does to help you. This blog, no offence is about me having no experience, not someone else.
So I will get started on building scratch rockets by tomorrow or Sunday, depending on how much stuff is on the table or if I had time to do so.
Hi daniel, this is a really cool idea but i've wondered, would you or do you ever use chemicals for your rocket :)
