Not a tremendous amount to report for this post, however I will provide pictures of my shop throughout my organization process. It’s 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. It’s 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.
