Kit Progress

it's been a bit since i last posted. basically i haven't done too much on the practice kits since i'm waiting for a few more tools to arrive. a dimpler for one so i can get the skins done.

in the mean time i've built another bench for the grinder and drill press. the grinder works very well for the deburring. needed to remove all the covers on it so i can debur long pieces a little easier.

i've worked about 4hrs. so far on deburring the tail kit... mainly the HS spars and all the ribs. match drilled the spar doubler plates as well. i've probably spent more time just reading the notes and studying the drawings to try to get a good understanding of the process. it's been a slow start but once the rest of the tools arrive, then tad and i will probably spend a few good hours working on it.
