Five ribs stitched, 4.5 hours, and I pretty sure I'm gonna lose a finger. My 14
year old is off the couch though!
Thanks,

So the videos were of no use, but practice practice practice paid off - that and
a little help from my friends at chapter 174. Using the right size rod really
makes a difference. 1/16" seems to work well. Most important it turns out is
"normalizing". The weld must be allowed to cool and then be gently heated to
a dull red.
thanks all

| Subject: | off topic 1920's project book |
This is WAY off topic, and an extreme long shot at best, but I figure if any group
has an understanding of 1920's diy, it is the Pietenpol gang. I got a book
from my dad when I was a kid, it was his in the late 20's or early 30's, but
it looks to be printed in the 20's.
It never had a cover since I got it in 1977, but this book is the foundation of
my interest in building and flight. There were several patterns for model aircraft
I built many copies of. Even though the book was written 4 decades prior
to my being born, I developed a strong bond and appreciation for the ingenuity
of my fathers generation. I had never heard of Bernard Pietenpol while looking
at this book in the 1970's, but now can appreciate that he and this book represent
the "stuff" that created the greatest generation our nation has ever seen
(in my opinion)
Does anyone recognize any of the attached photos? I have seen similar books published
under "The Boy Mechanic" series, but none appear to be my dad's childhood
book. It would mean thecworld to me to finally see this book in it's entirety.
