Nah, it's subterfuge. Take a look at the background in the close-up of the DRDT... Looks like a real shop to me! I do like the wall art though.

Congratulations on your new 14 project. I am in the exact same boat as you (minus the spotless shop). Purchased my 14a empennage kit Monday at Oshkosh as well. Looking forward to sharing experiences and learning from other here along the way.

Very excited to get started!

Excellent!!!

Your tables look suspiciously familiar. Maybe because I just made a few myself? Kind of looks like you might have done the same thing I did. Did you use the leftover plywood to make a 3rd table 2?x4?? I couldn?t stand to have that much wood just sitting around.

Yep, may as well use the cutoffs to make a 2x4. I had a bunch of prefinished plywood left over from a wainscoting project. Was just sitting there..

Is that Numax riveter?

Yes. I purchased a Numatx squeezer and they provided me plans for a c-frame. I used their prints 3430 and 3431. I also asked about using the C-frame for riveting and a doubler was recommended. So I went with 1/4? wall tube with a 1/4 plate doubler on each side. I was worried it may be too heavy, but I can lift and move it without breaking my back. I have only tested it so far. I?ll know how well it works in a month or so.

I?m officially on the EAA 17 roster. I don?t often make the meetings because of a recurring schedule conflict. I would like to be there more. Hopefully I will be able to make that happen. I would love the chance to have a look at your 14 some time.

I've been looking at that one as well. Trying to decide which plane to build at the moment. I asked for the preview plans for the 9 and also the USB drive for the 9 and 14 for my birthday. Overseas in Bahrain for the next few years, so those will give me something to do. Hope I can maybe find a ride in each one to help the process in figuring out which one. Can't wait to here how you like the squeezed.
