Workshop ideas

[blake]

New spar has been designed and stress calculations have been done. Should be good for over 8Gs!
Also, a new wing joiner has been sized to match the new spar.

All confirmed by an *iron ring* type of guy.

Ok guys,

How do you make a new 28'x28' shop look small?

Thanks to Steve R, I can now answer that question!

You put close to 20 feet of K8 in it!

She is in the new shop for a make over, should be ready for Cumberland in March '17.

When you do your "make over" first and foremost be sure to put a real spar system in the wings.......what's in there now is a "spar" in word only!

Congratulations Blake.
They say bigger fly's better. I guess you took the bait.

Nice SHOP too

This is nice! Any updates? Do you have original Minis or newer ones? I have an MGA and a couple of old VW Beetles.

Finish grading started last night.

Starting the interior once the weather cools down a bit.

[Steve P]

Sweet! The jealousy is growing.

[blake]

Progress as of yesterday afternoon.
Radiant floor tubing installed and pressure tested, just waiting for concrete......

[lenb]

Oh, I can feel the jealousy oosing from my skin! Congrats Blake. Keep us posted on the progress.

[blake]

Well, work has started on the new shop.
Pouring cement next week, then the framing starts!

Tom,

The 23x27 are INSIDE dimesnsions of the shop...

[Tom]

24' x 28' is a better use of material..... building materials come in mostly 4' increments...... you will be buying material for the bigger building and cutting 1' off of most all sheeting and throwing it out if you go with a 23' x 27' size.
