The work benches I've been building are 2x4' Really simple. The first one I did is higher because I intended for it to be the electrical/mechanical bench. Working on full size parts and whathave you. So I think the paint rack will be 4' wide and I can go up as far as I want within reason...

Yeah Paul, no it's going to be scrap wood. Might not even be square and plumb.

Thanks Paul, I'll just get it with the brass bits I got.

@Brokeneagle Hey Ian, I know you're on your Tasmanian road trip but wanted to tag you on this. Mark Felton released a video about your subject. I saw he was taking some heat lately about some info he released but I didn't dive into details. Just wanted to share with you and get your take.

Just to follow up on this, I said here I want to find a suitable paint rack. Did some googling this AM and only found all these various laser cut kit type that I don't have good history with. So I thought to myself...Self, why not build one from scratch. I have enough scrap wood and junk all...

This is going to be great! :popcorn

It sure does have 60s prices! :notworthy

Press on Mike :soldier

Thank's Paddy, I couldn't find the clear sheets at the Hobbylobby but I did find clear sticker, stuck the frame to it then a couple of coats of clear deactivated the sticky glue. It's not up to exacting standards but works for me. I'm going to add another run of brass to simulate that leaf...

While I wish I had the gumption to rebuild the tail wheel itself, I'm ok with this so far. JUST found this photo. The mount look more like a leaf spring. I might have something for that also.

But you know one day she will find out. :stinker: How nice is this, Putting it in a case like this will protect it far longer than a 5th grader will be able to keep it safe. I given my nephews a couple over the years only to have them disappear with no trace. I don't ask.

That's actually next on my watch list for lunch.

How about a trip back to 1956 airshow.

Various parts trying to figure out what looks best. Bare with me while I whip this out.

Looking good Gary :popcorn

Had to google that one. According the Wiki "Intended to be an exclusively British utopian settlement centred on the idea of sobriety," Sounds like a fun place... :rotf

I know what I mean, seems like just yesterday we moved up to Due West, this year will be 5 years now. :bm:

Meanwhile in the South East, we haven't seen any sort of wet stuff outside a garden hose in some time. Whatever it is growing in the yard is crunchy. Stay warm Y'all!

Woo, 8 years ago. So many names we don't see around anymore on that thread.
