Re: What are you up to?

Passable cover of Floyd 'heart of the sun' rest I could have done better myself with a washing machine accompaniment I reckon

Re: What are you up to?
Shame,
but still better than work.
I've been drilling and de-burring what I hope is my last batch of corner fixings (See build thread)

Re: What are you up to?
Initial attempts were poor to rubbish (1/2hr)
Second attempt, much improvement especially on the thicker section spars.(Pictures and explanation in the build thread)
Yesterday even better. So much so that the welds are strong enough to start in earnest Well that was the plan.
I have suffered what I consider "a Charlie Chaplin incident".
I have been suffering for the last week or two with sciatica . This back type pain caused me to walk with a bit of a limp. In limping down my garden steps I slipped and twisted my ankle causing mild swelling. Then, to cap it off, with back pain and a swollen ankle, limping with the dog in the country park, I slipped and fell against a tree( to save myself) only to sprain my wrist
So, although I believe I will be able to start welding the frame work, it will have to wait until I stop feeling sorry for myself.
