Spent about 6 hours over two days building a very solid, level, and true work table. One of the things I learned from building the rudder was that an adequate work surface is absolutely essential. I chose to only build it 4' x 8' at this point to save space until I need to extend it to 4' x 12'. I spent a long time getting everything as square and level as possible. I used 2" x 6" lumber which appears to be overkill, but it was recycled lumber and available, so I built it nice and beefy. The good news is that it stays put - no slipping across the floor. One cool note. I used an old-world Spanish windlass to pull the legs into alignment. The irony wasn't lost on me to be using such an old, low-tech method to build something I'll use to build an airplane. Pretty cool.
Table frame nearly complete - missing center reinforcements at this point
Using a Spanish windlass to bring the legs into alignment. Old world tech for sure.
That ain't no garage - that's an airplane factory!
