Today I worked on the top skins. I deburred and dimpled them and they are ready for priming. I was also looking back at this log and I noticed a picture of the shop, back when I first started the plane in 2006. I also found a recent picture of the shop from the same angle. Quite a difference between the two. I've added cabinets and many more tools and parts since the early days. It was still bitterly cold today, but the shop was comfortable with a sweatshirt on......
