        If I'm not mistaken, and please correct me if I'm wrong BTAZ, but I seem to recall that he would stop working on his project when here in AZ we would enter the 2-2 1/2 month long "monsoon" season of very high temps and humidity. If anyone wanted to study a case of maximizing one's work space this would have to be on the list having been out to visit him at his shop earlier this year.

        If in fact this is the case, then IMHO what he's accomplished in what amounts to roughly 10 or so months, scratch building and working a full time job, is truly outstanding!

        Nice job man!

          Actually, the swamp cooler worked better then expected so I carried on after you visited me. Wouldn't have wanted to do any strenuous work but drilling a few thousand 3/32 holes and then driving the rivets wasn't heavy lifting.

          The headache was wearing a sweatband so I wasn't dripping on the skins as I worked......

          I'm guessing about 25 hours a week average(16 hours on the weekends and a couple every week night, some weeks more but some weeks I was on business travel)
