Tools
At least for the time being my tool purchasing is complete. Throughout the last week I received everything from Harbor Freight, Amazon, Cleveland Aircraft tools and picked up my air compressor on sale! I didn't really have the chance to do a full inventory and start putting things up until yesterday.
Practice Projects
Last night I got antsy and wanted to cleco something and use some pneumatic tools. I got out my two practice kits; an phone/tablet holder courtesy of Cleveland Aircraft Tool and the Vans Toolbox kit. The phone/tablet holder gave me a chance to do some very basic things and might have taken an hour or so to complete. The toolbox was a bit more involved and I tried to use various tools and methods to get it complete. That took about 3 hours and that includes the time I spent watching some videos on riveting, dimpling, ect. It didn't turn out that bad with maybe 3 rivets that are a bit ugly and a janky handle that I hand bent.
Empennage Delivery
I received a call on Friday that my kit was set to be delivered on Tuesday. Well it came today in a giant wooden box. Not sure what I was expecting, had seen a few pictures of one on other people's build logs but I guess it doesn't do it justice. Decided to move it into the garage and leave it be until I have a block of time I can crack it open, inventory and organize.
