It's sitting out back in the "Soul Shack" my workshop. Actually it's all over my house..LOl
Glue station kitchen. Heat curing living room, in front of fireplace.
Minor assembly dining room.
Grinding, cutting, fitting & assembly "Soul Shack".
No I did not buy it....Manny did. Being stationed at Ft. Stewart & having no where to build it, He gave me a call. "Hey Jim, I'm bringing back [from Illinois] this project, can I build it at your place"?
Sure Manny..I'll even pitch in and help a bit. Welllllllfast forward a couple weeks AND.......
There was a knock on my door last week & when I opened it, this is what I saw: :y:
Can we come in????
Oh hell ya!!!
So for time being my Nike-Apache & Mach-2 rocket are on the back burner while this monster if full speed ahead.
WARNING DISCLAIMER: this build is not for the faint of heart. DO NOT CONTINUE on if easily offended by non conventional means of construction....100 yr old power tools
Tim [LEHR] if you read this..... Thanks for the saw, repurposed here with my "custom" tube cutting jig.
where the hell did you get this thing?
& epoxy mixed on food serving surfaces!!!@#@ & mini-grinders used to sand fins!
This will be fun for all.
Deadline 3 weeks, start to finish.
Official start.... yesterday Sat Jan 20 2018
