With only a couple hours to spend today, I decided to get into the shop and do something productive.
The Bandsaw
First up, I fixed my bandsaw. It broke a few weeks ago, and it took a while to get the parts to fix it. Once they came, they sat for a while as I’ve been focusing my free time on working on my class four flight instructor rating. Anyway, the saw is working again, but it’s time for a new blade. I’ll be looking for which one is best for aluminum.

With that done, I fired up my compressor and set out to get at least a handful of rivets in. I managed to get a line done, and they look great.

Thanks to Phill for checking in on me recently to keep me building!
