What to do with unused parts...

Post by 4kilo »

Since no one wanted my RV-8 fuselage jig (new kits don't need a jig anymore), I cut it up and made a workbench out of it. Cutting up my Van's boxes supplied the table top:

That looks nice Pat. I used the main wing box as the base for my large table. It eve ngives me a storage compartment to keep things in and out of the way. :)

Nice work Pat!

I used my spar box as a wall mounted shelf (as many do), and I plan to make my fuselage table out of the box that will be arriving TODAY! 8)
