    Hey Tony, I can only sharpen the end for now. I still have to build the jig for sharpening the side cutters. I downloaded the plans here: http://homews.co.uk/page125.html

    Went ahead and built a jig setup for sharpening my HHS endmills. Took a bit to get it done, now I have to practice! I also had to do some work to get the diamond wheel on the tool grinder, but it works great.

    I've been playing with free cad a bit and made my first project box. A test run to make sure I was extracting and slicing properly. I went with Cura on the slicer.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I've spent all my time cutting out balsa ribs on scratch built planes so far. But I think foam cores might be a little easier to do once I get everything set up. I've built a lot of foam core kits.

    I've got a hot wire foam cutter that I've never used. I might have to give it a go at some point.

    New addition to the shop! I was given a 3D printer that needed some repairs. I've got it up and running. I will need some help with free CAD programs and learning the language.

    What in the world does that go into?? Looks much bigger than a locomotive crank! I might could if I go with 24v instead of 12. 😄

    I'm going to try and keep them coated. Maybe I should look for something better??. I spent the day today working on the tiny lathe. Got work done on the tailstock. Still a lot to do to finish up the tailstock.
