A few notes on how I cut my parts:
Firstly I rarely sand free hand, I always use something to sand against, here I have an old breadboard that was destined for the bin, with a 1/8 spruce fence glued SQUARE,
All cross members are cut too long and sanded back and patients is the key here, if you go too far, start again. All angles are done by eyes, but flat on the board so I only have one plane to worry about.
For the ribs, I made a 1/8 ply master template and hand cut the rest from this.
Essential here is a spar slotter..
