You’re taking baby steps, but making good progress. It’s definitely a learning process but seems so far you have learned from your mistakes. I bet the other side goes much smoother and a bit quicker.
Don’t be surprised if your three year project goes to five or six. Mine was a three year and now I’m in year six and I still have two or so years to go. My biggest issue is time. Life keeps reminding me it’s only a hobby and my family is the priority. I do enjoy my time in the shop and it’s my therapy that rejuvenates me.
Keep at it and you’ll soon see the fruits of your labor!
PS: Now that you have a new compressor, trade that Dremmel in for a pneumatic die grinder with a cutoff wheel. Your dissecting will go much quicker!
