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

Well I hung like a million joists in my shop. On the back wall you'll notice 5 that look different. These were designed to attach my bike hoists that lift my planes off the ground

Building this Hostetler cessna 182 and as noted earlier, didn't want to use the heavy plywood spars for the wing attachment. I found a picture online of what these spars look like. Lasered up some parts to use a CF wing tube. Got the main parts glued in.

Now that my daughter's wedding is done and over, I'm finally back to work on my Grasshopper! Got some painting done and got a few parts covered.

I'm using Dark Green 21st Century Microlite covering and Tamiya Dark Green paint. Pretty good match.

It's my first time working with the Microlite covering. I was scared going into it, but I must say it is very forgiving! It's easier to work with than regular covering.

Not really sure how I survived 40 years without my sanding blocks from @cbarnes0061 . They are my new favorite tool. I used them almost every time I walk into the shop.

I gots three new sets of them sitting on my finishing bench needing the last coat of lolly so they are ready when you are bud. Shop is coming along nicely by the way.
