Wing jig
Paul Smith:
I bought a Brodak wing jig because the Brodak B-25 is designed so you need one.
I added some features, including 5/16" wheel collars to lock in the ends and a tilt-up feature for working in the bottom side.
You don't really need to level the whole world to use it.
Just level the two surfaces that support the rods.
Perry Rose:
Make sure you level the rods before gluing things. A support in the center is a good idea.

I use long rods on my home made jig. They sit on three, 1"by2" cold rolled steel blocks, with one in the middle. It's easy to check that the rods are straight along their length by using a straight edge across all three blocks, and then I just set a small torpedo level across the rods and check them that way and make sure the level agrees with each section. Then I just weight the rods down with some other blocks for building.
Type at you later,

A couple of coats of Auto wax works wonders.
