New workshop, new table

Following the move to my new workshop, I went ahead and built an EAA Chapter 1000 standard table.  As per the suggestion of a fellow builder, I constructed the table top with a two inch overhang on each side, which will allow parts to be clamped to the table if necessary.  I was very pleased with the results, and the table has turned out to be a terrific addition to the workshop.  I like the table so much, I may build another one in the future if necessary.


Rear spar work

It's been a little while since my last post.  I moved my workshop recently, and also moved into a new home.  Building should return to a more normal schedule now though, and I'm excited to see some of the empennage parts coming together.

I finished rounding the HS609PP rear spar reinforcement bars, which turned out well.  I have included a before and after picture.  After both of the 609PPs were finished, I match drilled them to the HS603PP rear spars, and placed all of the hinge brackets.
