Sooner or later I have to build a wing stand, so now seemed as good a time as any. Nothing original about it, the design has been floating around on the Internet for years, so credit to whoever came up with the original design.
For now, there are a couple of support rails for the outer part of the wing spar, these will get removed and replaced with a piece of hanging carpet once the leading edge assemblies are installed on the wings.
I got to use my ancient radial arm saw, another piece of my late father’s amazingly dangerous equipment that I grew up using around fifty years ago. Everything about this saw, including the castings and electric motor, was manufactured in Australia. Nothing has ever failed or had to be replaced. Could you imagine getting this sort of service out of a modern day “Made in China” saw?
