"Are you kidding me?!? I'm needing help every stinkin' day I work on these ol' jalopies. I can assure you that there's plenty of work now and will be plenty of work after the first of the year. Come on down. If it's work you want, we'll sure find some for you." — Gary Austin

Fabricating tail gunner compartment structure: Part VI - Originally Posted Nov. 21, 2006

After a frustrating few days and many hours of wasted work, I decided to chunk my previous attempt at fabricating that lower section of the tailgunner's station that you saw on an earlier post and start over. I started with making a new buck for the project. This time, slowing down and doing it right. Things went fairly well, and I was able to fabricate the first difficult piece of aluminum for this project.
