Had a bit of fun up the ladder with the wide-angle lens.
The hangar work continues, with dividing walls, electricity, 10A, 15A and 3 phase circuits, natural gas heating, insulation, machinery and ongoing tool/floor-space optimisation, mezanine storage on the other side of the dividing wall and more.
Just a few more $$$ and I will get to work on the Viper again.

Thanks mate.
A couple more recent ones. The Ulu was a challenging freehand grind.

Stepping up my game.
My first solo Bowie. Ten inch blade.
Just finished tonight after weeks of nervous and careful progress on this one.
This blade has been a real challenge. It has taken me outside my comfort zone a few times and I have spent a lot of time just looking at it at different stages, thinking before I did each stage. The wood is Gidgee and the blade is 5160 steel. My thanks to Jackson Rumble JS, for his coaching.

Nice work now for a nice hand carved sheath with hand stitched leather thonging. Beautiful knife.

I'd start by bulldozing the set.

Finished the ten inch Bowie, then had a go at some more advanced leather sheath making. I absolutely hate doing leather work.

BOOYAAAAHHHH!! FRAK YEAH! Finally back to the Viper build!
My other major projects are all but done, so it's time to get stuck into it.
Last night I started by pulling all the plywood cladding off the landing gear and started to replace it with steel. I am also fitting concealed axle mounts in the skids, so I can put temporary wheels on each one, for moving the ship when needed.
As I go, I am repairing all the damaged polystyrene, caused by moving it around the property. I've already spent some time realigning modules that have shifted, so the fit is flush.
When I can, I will look at getting the canopy along to an aluminium welding service to get it solidified, positioning brackets removed, then get some polycarbonate windows fitted into it.
The turbines, front and rear need to be tuned and joined with through- driveshafts, then belted to a clutched, central drive motor. I've pulled out the front turbine fans to get a clear look through the nacelle and plan it out.
I repaired the wiring of some of the cockpit instruments last night. The sound system needs more work.
The wing frames need to be welded together, fitted then skinned, then fit the cannons.
Plans for an 8 metre low-rider trailer are in the works, with fold down sides and removable roof, for weatherproofing, security and transport to shows.
Lots to do.

I rather like basic leatherwork and have made 5 axe & tomahawk masks as part of axe restoration work I have done over the last 6 months. But doing the fancy stuff is not my cup of tea. That knife is a real thing of beauty.

I was told once, If you have to ask the price, you cannot afford it. He was right I couldnt.
