First Post!

Van’s metalwork practice kit

It’s far from perfect, but it’s done! A partial list of issues:

  • Smileys on and around the universal heads
  • Some dents from a non-square bucking bar
  • 4 or 5 rivets that needed to be drilled out
  • One rivet that was drilled out poorly and probably should have been an oops rivet if I had them on hand
  • Too little edge rolling on the lap joint

But now I know, and next time it’ll be better. Next up is the toolbox kit, then hopefully my first kit will be here: the wings
