First I got my stables out today. A lot more comfortable now. The car seat does not press on them while driving. And I can now dispense with sponge baths. The wounds look good according to the intern who removed them. Still a bit red and bruised.


Now back to our regular programming.


I have been working on the engine cowling, and the struts. Sometimes switching from one to the other while glue dried, or when I got bored with one.


I am roughing out the cowl, cutting bigger blocks on the band saw. I have been using Tightbond and the double glue method to join pieces. Takes longer, but is lighter that epoxy, and easier to carve.


Still plenty of more fill blocks. On the exhaust side I will likely use a couple of small removable blocks. Behind the engine I will just glue a shaped block to fill things in.


I will do some carving on the outside. to get the shape close and then hollow out the inside.
