[Alberg30] A30 mast support beam

[Mike Lehman]

Bonjour! We have returned from our whirl-wind trip to France (most guys just 
buy their wives flowers for Valentines Day). I have over 135 work-related 
e-mails that require a response, so I will address this question later this 
week. au revoir

Mike Lehman made the template that Washington Aluminum digitized.  He's
in France right now, so he can't jump in and say how he did it.

As Michael says, the aluminum is pretty expensive.  Reed Beigel used
to cut these things by hand.  People would complain to him about the
price and he didn't make much of a profit for his labor.  Having an
industrial shop do the cutting is probably worth every penny.
