This whole project has been nothing but a steady parade of new things and firsts. Tonight I managed to cross another first in my project. tonight I drilled two parts and clecoed them together. A seemingly simple task, yet one that was over a year in the making.

That's great Keith! I can't imagine the pride you are going to feel as things progress, making parts from material is grass root building.
