Title: Parts fabrication and Rivet practice
The last month has been a lot of puttering, I have been working on something for at least a few minutes every day, but have had a hard time finding the drive to tackle anything of substance. I have cut out many of the steel sheet parts and have begun to shape some of them and have done a little welding. I found that I didn't order enough tubing of some of the sizes to account for waste, which is unfortunate since tubing doesn't ship for free. This limited what I can do because I have found myself not wanting to make another order until I know if there are any other tubing sizes I didn't order enough of, but not being able to finish one part had made it difficult to move on to the next one. I added some drawers to my sheet metal cart for tools and got to practice my sheet metal skills including riveting. The big news is that the wing kit has shipped and should be here in a week or so, which hopefully will kick me in gear. I have at least been making progress almost every day, even if it's only a little, the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.
