Wow, someone who knows where Harsens Island is! Ducks still abound here too. As to the shop, yea, I have 4 workbenches, I clean when I cannot find a space to work, or it takes more than 10 minutes to find a tool. Just not enough room with CL and RC going on at the same time. I tend to be a multitask builder doing several planes at a time.

Martin: Here is a picture of the cowl after the chop. The spinner is not a P-51 shape but you get the idea.
