Making room in the shop required some hard tasks, not physically, but mentally.  I had to cut my table down and literally saw it in half.  This was a table that has stood strong since 2000 and I had put a lot of blood sweat and tears into.  I had to make several lengthwise cuts across the top deck to get into the internals of the table.  I then relocated the legs to the center longeron.

As you can see, the inside of the table was as solid as the outside.  The supports were used to keep the longerons in line and hold the legs of the table stable.

Here is what is left of my table after sawing it in half.  Ugh, that was painful!

After destroying my table I had to re-shim it and level the table again.  Now I have room in the shop for the fuselage delivery in June.  On to the fuselage delivery.  I used Vans recommendation on using Partain Transportation for my fuselage delivery.  Talk about an awesome team!!!

Here is the truck pulling up to the house.

The way they ship these things is really cool.  No crating or unpacking and all we had to o was wheel this out of the truck.

And roll it up to the side of the house.

An onto its home for a while.

Onto building things to go into the fuselage.  But first, Scarlet and Justice had to check out the craftsmanship from Van's.

...and Harley is impressed with the handiwork of Van's quick build factory.

Ok...now really I need to get back to work.  Onto building things to go into the fuselage.
