Three quick projects for today.

First I added adjustable feet to all of the workbench legs. Not only is the garage floor not level but the two work benches are slightly different. When they abut one another there was a slight lip. By adding the feet, I’m able to level the workbenches and square their heights wherever I move them.

Second, I added the back riveting plate to one of the benches. I didn’t center it as I wanted it centered on the two work benches instead. I’d call the installation semi permanent since I used some wood glue to ensure nothing settled. I wanted to make sure the plate was just a hair higher than the surrounding surface. This way it can settle some after riveting. I’m also concerned that a small drop can lead to stretching the skin.

Finally, I built a new table meant for the c-frame. The new table is designed to go between the two workbenches either longways or end to end. The addition of adjustable feet means I can adjust the c-frame height regardless of the die being used. Dimpling and back riveting will be much easier after today!

Of course, I still need to fabricate a wing stand… All in due time.
