Dox, what the h ell is going on here? Ain't no flippin way you are building this. Look at this bench, glue all lined up in a row by height, pristine plans, no xacto slices, no glue splotches.No tools anywhere, and above all, no balsa scraps or dust, no blood splatters, no cigarette burns on the work bench.............wish my table looked like that, and by the way, nice work. I bet its even warm in there.......regards Sugarfox
...definitely worth a chuckle!
See, it has happened that I'm about to put some slow CA on something, adjust and hold. Next thing I know the darn thing is welded because I used thin CA
. But I do confess that my fingers are curiously absent of knife knicks and caked CA - you know, the kind that prevents you from feeling anything when you touch it. I guess mostly I'm using a planer and sanding blocks and very little CA - just a touch here and there. Most gluing has been done with
very thin layers of assorted epoxy.
No building on plans, an occasional x-acto, no glue to drip, pens, rulers (lots of those), planer and sanders, lots of balsa dust (
everywhere - the room is filled with it!) and scraps (on the floor). Fortunately, the typical blood draining mix of balsa dust and CA up the nose is absent on this build.
Oh, yea, don't have that habit - an occasional single malt is nice though to keep the hands warm (I prefer the liquid form
). It's actually about 57 deg C in there - conducive to lots of sanding!
Buy hey! For $99.99, you too can build a D10, and as a bonus we'll give you a work bench that auto aligns itself!
Chuck, thanks for the flattery. Always nice coming from a composite master builder. BTW, how's your Atlanta fuse looking these days? Is she close to rendition?
Time for some fuse action!
David.
P.S. I'm putting together a little list of materials and parts to complete the D10. It should come in handy if someone wants to build one. I'll post it when it's a little more complete.
