I stopped work and went and bought some supplies


# one supply DUST MASKS!!!!!


I also picked up some aluminum tubes. Bigger than what use I used for the bibe wings I bought some that are 1/2" and thicker walled, very stiff, still only 3' long. Where do you find some that are 5' or 6' long?????? I got these for future building projects.


I also decided to try one of the new LED light bulbs. They are kind of spendy. I got one that is = to a 60 what incandescent bulb. Reall nice color from it, plenty bright.


Any way back to to the wings With a dust mask. I used a 2' long sanding bar with some 80 grit and got the L.E. I really leveled the L.E. out and then a small 180 grit foam block. I really like the L.E. shape.
