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

Ugggggg.

Sukhoi maintenance this weekend. Swapped the 1lb heavier SUPER flexible aluminum gear for a similar sized Yak c.f. gear (only option out there after graftec failed again).

Just drilled through the existing gear right into the cf gear.

Up on new legs. Does not look good at at but at the moment beats bottoming out on a hard landing and breaking a prop.

Had to remove cowl, headers, tuned pipes just to get to gear bolt nylon nuts. Grrrrr. Made the best of it as cowling bolts wear holes in the cowling quickly so did some fiberglass cloth backside patching.

Quick JB Weld worked better (on a hole I missed).

Did some sheetrock installation in my soon to be dedicated toy room (extra room at my shop). Tentative lathe on right and mill on left layout.

I might finish the sheetrock with FRP wallboard later.

@Stevendavis the rotary phase converter control box is center of the dry wall. The motor is lower left with its future home outside in a doghouse type structure.

Looks nice. Once we find a new house and I have a shop again I plan to build a dedicated lipo charging station and will use either hardie backer or the FR Drywall.

Rolled concrete sealer in the future lathe area. I will move the lathe there tomorrow.

 

[dhal22]

Lathe in place today. Now to move the mill into the room. A wall will have to be cut.

Apparently no restrictions on wooden bats in my son's summer wooden bat baseball league. He asked for some help, we will see.
