Making parts
I decided it was time to start making some parts. As my luck would have it, the temperatures dropped in the teens for highs. I run a propane heater in the garage and with this cold of temperatures outside; it took all it had just to stay comfortable.
I moved to the dinning room table for one night. Not much got accomplished. Realizing how many parts I needed to make, I figured I might need a place more comfortable and permanent. I set up an old desk in the basement and  went to work!
First night I set up camp on the dinning room table. Of course the wife was at work, so I could do this :) .
Moved downstairs in the basement. My learing curve is very steep right now. I messed up a bunch! Luckily I was not cutting aluminum yet!
Here are the parts I got chicken scratches on. This desk is nice and comfortable to do the markings on.  I figured when it warms up outside I will start cutting the parts. For now, there is a lot of "markings" to do.
