No!!!! Not the finger!!!!! Jeez have you no respect??  Angry

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 .... Grin Cheesy Grin


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  Huh

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Smiley  Smiley

Well if it makes you feel any better, my winter project won't be here anytime soon. Sad

However, I am home for the holiday! Roll Eyes
