Why not do an old school build and show the old tricks. I found a lot of plans in the old timer section of MAN plans. I was going to build two of these at the same time, one for myself but I'm in a hurry to get to my own build. After seeing the time it takes to build the fuse I'm glad I only decided to build the one. When I was a kid I would just come home from school and glue something then go find something else to do until prime time TV came on. My folks let me do my building in the living room so I built more while watching TV. I wasn't allowed to cover them in the house, I used silk span and dope and my mom hated the smell. My wife was more understanding and I was able to watch TV in the living room and cover them. I just got back in from gluing in two sticks and they are bent and under a load so it will be hours before I can glue in more sticks.
I decided to build a cake while I'm waiting for the epoxy to set. My wife is all for that idea. Lunch first then it's off to the kitchen!! Cake, something else to do during prime time!!
