Feb 01, 2022     New workbench - (25 hours)       Category: Workshop
I have been using a folding 6' utility table. It's too small, not very sturdy, and too low, so it hurts my back. Dropped a plane door off it a while back, requiring replacement of some sheet metal. Enough frustration!

I built this new table which is wide enough to support both wing spars simultaneously if required and is about 7'4” long. Made mostly from recycled 4X4 bolted with 1/2 lap joints. It can support toolboxes or large portable tools on the bottom shelf. The middle shelf is very light duty (3/8” ply) for holding hand tools, bolts, rivets or whatever it instead of having them around and under the workpiece at hand. I am going to put heavy duty wheels which rotate up off the floor whenever the table is in the desired location. This mobility is essential since my shop is small. The bench will have to go out the garage door to move it past the fuselage.

Feb 23, 2020     Arrrival of kit - (4 hours)       Category: Workshop
Dan from Bearhawk Canada brought the kit. Very impressed with construction, packing, level of completion. Kyle, Andre, Linda and I helped unpack the trailer and bring the plane into the garage. Managed to fit it all in he garage. All the controls, long tubes, struts, tail, etc fit in shallow racks on the ceiling. I mounted the fuselage on casters so I can push it around. The rotisserie will be on casters as well

Cedar strip canoe build by Aidan and Khysa moving out shortly. It needs seats and thwarts and a few more coats of varnish and it will be launched.
