I have finally settled in to my new workshop. My class is over and I'm back from some summer travels. Moving was a pain, but I like our new place much more than the last place. It's much smaller but it feels more like a home. Plus, it has this single car garage that is a much better workspace than my last one.

Here's a couple views of my new workshop. Plenty big to make everything except the main wing spar (I still have to figure that one out). The wood down on the ground there on the left is the first thing I need to take care of. I'm going to build the 12 foot long table to be able to work on the stabilizer and elevator spars. The wood up on the shelf with brackets is the rest of the tail wood and the wood up on the storage space is the rest of the fuselage wood that I won't need for a while. I also have some extra storage space up there for finished parts.

The finished fuselage frames and stabilizer ribs were such a big hit with friends as art up on the walls at the old place that I just kept that tradition alive to store them. Some of them I will have to take down as I cover them with plywood but I don't know when I'm going to do that.
