The evening of detailing did nothing to shake my conviction that three models is enough.
Once I’d trapped the little wandering buggers with some tape, the stake pocket jig and its low-tech companion, the end sill template, worked beautifully. Okay, the “end sill template” is just a piece of paper with ticks on it; to use it, I simply lined each bolt head with the tick. It sounds easy until you have to do it 60 times! By alternating side sills and end sills, I was able to not only stay sane, but also to let the stake pockets set before peeling the sills away from the jig.
