I have been spending a lot of time organizing the shop and acquiring the tools. I still have not reached critical mass on the tools to start the practice kits. But reviewing the plans brings back memories of helping others build their planes so many years ago. I remember learning how to rivet from Bill Statler, both father and son, on the Wildfire Reno Air Racer pictured below. I guess I wont know how good I still am (or ever was) until I start the practice kits.
It seems the road to starting is challenging. Lots to do to get a shop functioning at the minimum level needed. I wonder when I actually start the project itself, if it will somehow be anti-climatic; like planning a long vacation in a foreign land and then finally arriving.
