Abstract
A method of making a wind turbine blade is described. The blade comprises first () and second () half shells bonded together and a shear web () bonded inside the shells. Prior to joining the shells together, the shear web is positioned in one of the shells. A plurality of bars () are attached to the shear web and engaged with a plurality of mounts () in order to support and stabilise the shear web relative to that shell. The shells are then arranged one above the other whilst the bars remain attached to the shear web. The bars continue to support the shear web whilst the shear web is aligned with the other shell. The bars are then detached from the shear web and the shells are brought together to bond the shells to each other and to bond the shear web between the shells.
