Brief Description:  Right wing main spar

Continued drilling holes in right wing main spar. Got tired of moving drill press around on table and readjusting everything to make sure it was level etc. Figured there's a better way. Decided to make a drill press caddy on wheels that I can roll up to the edge of the table and drill holes and in the process leave the workpiece set up better on some 2x3s on the table.

Decided to use and old fiberboard cabinet Tara had bought at a yardsale for $3 as a base. Tore it all apart and remeasured for a tighter fit using the door as an upright for a total of three uprights. Added 2x3s at the bottom for outrigger supports to keep it from flipping over when the drill press is on it.Finally added wheels and another 3/4" piece of plywood for additional support on the top.

Works much better than trying to move the drill press around the table. Finished up drilling holes in the bottom spar caps and then Craig helped me flip it around to do the other side and finished the top spar cap in about 1/2 hour.
