    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Since my first project went so good, I decided to try another. Made my first morse taper 2 blank. I had a couple old drill chucks lying around and I wanted to use them, so I made the mt2 blank for the chucks. I already had a drill chuck for my tailstock, but it's larger than I thought it would...

    Resurrection U Can Do 60 Repair

    The U Can is ready to go again! The new surfaces also gave me more deflection with the better bevels.

    Finally made a part on the lathe. I've only been playing with speeds and feeds up to this point. Still learning!! I made a new knob for the tailstock lock. Not fancy, but functional !

    Resurrection U Can Do 60 Repair

    Finally found some time to get back to the U Can Do. I built a jig for hinging the elevators, added some extra material for the hinges, and got started on some sanding.

    Resurrection U Can Do 60 Repair

    Drew out some plans and got to work. I found that the leading edge on the stock horizontal stab was laminated with pine spruce in the middle. It's also tapered and recessed into the square stock. I didn't want the headache, so I just made a template and cut a piece of 1/8" lite ply, then...

    Resurrection U Can Do 60 Repair

    Well, went to our annual Salmon Idaho fun fly, over Memorial weekend and after a couple of flights on the UCD, I noticed that one of the elevators had an issue.
