Title: Early Christmas Present for One and All...
Post by Fingers on Dec 16th, 2012 at 2:36pm
No!!!! Not the finger!!!!! Jeez have you no respect??  >:(

During one of the "episodes" while working on the ESM Hurricane, Santa commented that it would likely be easier to build from scratch. My reply (after years and years on the ESM) was in the affirmative. Santa asked what was available so we went and looked.....THEN Santa queried what I'd need "toolwise". So, with the commitment from Santa for a new scroll saw, the order was sent..

I have built before, (back in the old days when we boiled bananas down to make glue, and "Jap" tissue was not a perjurative term and the propulsion depended on how many turns we could get on the rubber - wipe that smile off your face),  and while the project will be taxing I think I can do it

Since I have confirmation that the plans and cowl have been sent, this is my early gift to the entire crowd of rabid vultures entire skeptical club.... this thread is now open for receiving all the assorted ( and well earned I must admit) comments about "will I finish it", "when will I finish it", "has anything been done at all", "that looks crooked", blah blah blah .... ;D :D ;D


With the very real possibilty that I croak before finishing this one, it has been promised to Glen (of strawberry shortcake fame) upon my demise  :-?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]  [smiley=beer.gif]

You'll have to twist the rubber a lot to get enough propulsion for that .  ;D

However, I am home for the holiday! ::)
