John from Smithville, TX
 

Hello,

John Sabol from Smithville, TX. Currently I am in the process of building an airplane and rebuilding several old vehicles. The wing on my airplane is aluminum and I thought it would be a shame to put fiberglass tips on.

I have constructed a buck and have been learning as I go. Currently I am building a bench top english wheel with John Glovers plans. I have a. Pretty good shop with old machines, Leblond lathe, Bridgeport, big brake, syncrowave 300, torch, etc.

When not working on my hobby, I try to farm when it rains.

Hi John welcome to the forum
Peter

Welcome! Good to see some more airplane guys. What are you building?

Randy

I am building four place Bearhawk. Wings are being skinned right now. I am building 100% from scratch.

Welcome John!

Welcome to allmetalshaping John.

Wow. Scratch building is not for the faint of heart. Going to learn a lot of skills on that one. The bearhawk is a good looking airplane.

By background is mechanical engineering. What got me started is a website by Eric Newton, really neat, talented guy. I was amazed how simple building an airplane is. I have some good tools, but it's mostly tin snips, hammer, torch! I have been having fun, but it is a long process.

Hi John and welcome!:)
