A few days ago we went in a sawmill to look for the right piece of softwood to build the tiller. We bought one plank of the so called "abete netto" which translates in "clean fir". We preferred to laminate two layers because solid wood is subject to warping. This plank is 4 m x 20 cm x 25 mm. We first cut two pieces long 2 m each, we selected the cleanest and ripped it lenghtwise obtainig two planks of 2 m x 10 cm x 25mm, and then laminated those with epoxy resin charged with microfibers and silica.
The tiller is 1.65 m long and almost 4 cm thick. Unfortunately, starting next monday, we will be in strict lockdown again...
Total work time to date: 746 hours
