Over the last week or so, I built a flange straightening tool, a rack to hold the h/s vertical for assembly, and a few other things. I had the old h/s completely taken apart, and had a ton of old -3 rivets that came with the used stuff I bought, so I decided to put 1/2 of it back together again, just for the practice. Went well with no catastrophe, and at some point I might think about making a coffee table or something out of it.

Tomorrow morning, I'll start prep work for the new h/s
