It'll be a while yet.  I still need to build the table for the CNC foam
cutter so my friend Dave can start cutting wing cores.  I've also got to
build a rolling kiosk for the control computer as well as some parts for a
737 glareshield mold.

The first cockpit design is about 80% done.

Actually that's on purpose.  I can't cinch it all down permanently until I
install the 4" vacuum hose on the cable guide.  There's a "shoe" that fits
at the base of the cutter to pick up sawdust.
