I've been working on this project now for 2.5 years. I'd love to say I'm further along than I am, but there have been certain milestones along the way.
Each time a subassembly comes together...or trying a new process...
This weekend I got the pleasure of a new milestone. Drilling out a LARGE number of rivets to fix a mistake. Over 300 to be exact. Of course I've done the onsey twosey rivets along the way, but this was another mountain altogether.

So maybe today I can call myself an accomplished builder? I never thought I'd have to do it, but it happened. The key for me is that I did stop to fix the mistake AND didn't making more. That boosts the confidence for next time.
Accomplished is at least better than the words I had for myself over the weekend!!
That's 5 hours I'll never get back. Good grief.
But the structure is correct now.
