Fuselage or gothic torture device? You be the judge:



When squaring up, clamps are your friends:



The endless deburring dance:



If a part becomes unwieldy, cleco it to the ceiling:



Nice hair:

Thanks for the pics, Andy. I see some good attention to details there...:)

I'd like to stop by your shop sometime.

You know you're welcome anytime Kip, and I'd love to get your eyeballs on things! Just give me a call when you have time to come by. I can pick you up at AHN or WDR if you fly.

You might want to wait 2-3 weeks though, then I'll be in my new garage workspace and it will be roomier and more comfortable. ;)

Just so happens that I will be gone for 3 weeks beginning Saturday. One of those weeks is OSH...:)

Sure, rub it in. I wonder if you'd notice if I stowed away in your baggage bay... 8-)

The pictures look great Andy! Keep at it!

Oh, and if you hate deburring at this point, just wait until you get to the wing skins ;)

Tried fitting the V-Stab for the first time:
