Not a tremendous amount to report for this post, however I will provide pictures of my shop throughout my organization process.  Its been a much more work intensive endeavor than I anticipated.

Originally I had intended to make the area next to the wings the primary shop area.  But after getting many of my items into the hangar, I realized the tail section of the T would provide more room.  As a result I would have to move the large black fire cabinet.  Its heavy as hell, and doesn’t roll on stones.  Complete PITA.

Hopefully by this weekend, I can return to working on the wings!

I initially laid the tail feathers down in some blankets until I could arrange a better storage solution. 

A few good pictures of the original mess. 

I managed to move the black fire cabinet into the wing section of the T-hangar.  I also moved all of the work benches into the new shop area.  I found 3/4″ particle board for $8 a pop at Home Depot.  I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to grab several sheets for a stable floor. 

I also bought this bad boy.  A 33gal Husky air compressor.  I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, so more to follow. 

More flooring…

This is the solution I engineered for holding the tail feathers. 

I still need to secure the vertical stab a little more securely. 

Mandatory American and Marine Corps flags in place.

Laying the floor boards. 

Everything is arranged properly, and all that remains is some additional tool organization. 

I ran into Jack Savage at the airport, and he twisted my arm into going for a quick spin in his RV-8.  He wouldn’t take no for an answer so I hopped in the back!  Fun as always.  Jack has a great plane. 

I hung up all the plans that I will currently be using.
