This is an experimental saddle I made from sheet metal. It'll probably be strong enough, but it seems quite flimsy and I don't think I'll follow this route: I've had a better idea.
I wanted to put the second layer of varnish on the rudder box today, but it is not yet hard dry, so I can't sand it. Also, it is evident that I had overdone it a bit on the coating thickness: it's gone wrinkly in some places. But I guess that means it's sealed well.
