Cutting Metal for Wings

After spending most of the summer on other projects and airplane work relegated to making form molds, I resumed work with a vengeance this weekend! Having received the first delivery of sheet aluminum, I cut out one of the wing spars along with root ribs, rear ribs and nose ribs. My forearms are as big as Popeye's! Wasn't able to finish trimming the rear rib forms as I wore out my router bit. Will be spending a lunch break at Lowes one day this week!
