Even More Ribs

Rib construction continues. 

This is what the stack looks like at the moment..

One question that pops up from time-to-time is the cost of the project.  Here is a breakdown so far:

Date	Source	Description	Cost	Totals
12/31/11	Wag-Aero	Plans	$125.00	$125.00
06/05/12	Home Depot	Router Bit	$24.00	$149.00

06/06/12	Home Depot	3/4” Plywood	$74.50	$277.11
06/18/12	Aircraft Spruce	702' Cap Strip	$147.42	$424.53
07/01/12	Toziers	Parts for Steamer	$10.30	$434.83
07/02/12	B&D International	1/16” Plywood	$127.02	$561.85

10/05/12	O'Reilly Auto Parts	Latex Gloves	$15.19	$692.21

Note that I have included only those items specifically related to building the airplane.  For instance, the new sander is not included in this list because it is a general shop tool that I would want whether I was building an airplane or not.  Specialty tools, are, and will be, included. 

The next logical question is;  how much time does it take?  Here is my time log to date.  The spreadsheet didn't copy over very well.  In future I will convert to a Word document before importing it. I also keep a paper log.
