Default Hello From Georgia
My name is Keith and I have been working on cars and interested in aircraft virtually my entire life.

My interest in metal shaping tends to lean more towards the automotive side of things. However, I just recently moved my family from Florida to Georgia for the opportunity to be involved in building an airworthy B-17. Fabricating parts from original Boeing drawings (well, copies of the originals) is a treat and a real privilege.

I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and have no doubt that this is the place to do it.

Are you working in Douglas, GA? Those guys are doing some nice work. I may drop by this weekend (or not) depending on weather...

Kyle, yes I am working in Douglas. I work Mon - Fri so if you come on the weekend I'm afraid I'll miss you. There is usually someone here on the weekend.

By the way, the movie Memphis Belle is here for the winter for maintenance.

I'd love to see pictures of the pieces and parts you're making plus descriptions of how you're making 'em. Descriptions and pictures of successes and failures are welcome.

One of these days I'm gonna have to make some cowlings for a pair of Pre-War Aeroncas and I need all of the hints and motivation I can get.

Kyle
