Shop Reorganization

Still no sign of when the primer I ordered will be back in stock, so not much building will happen for a while. The fuselage was already starting to fill up the bay it was in, so today I decided to do some shuffling.  I pulled everything outside (we actually had a nice break in the rain!) and made a total mess of the garage.


I ultimately need more width and length for the fuselage, so I slid the table saw over and moved the drill press and band saw into that spot.  That freed up a few more feet of length.  I also slid my workbench with the sander and grinder around to the other side of the post, then shoved the wood workbenches over a few feet as well.  That middle bay is now completely crammed with stuff, but at least it gives me space to work on the fuselage.  I have the tailcone on the workbenches for now until I finish riveting the bottom skin.  This should all work fine until I get to the point where I need the room to test mount the wings and mount the tail.  Then I'll have to reorganize again.
