Tim and Louie, all ya gotta do is take it apart, clean it up (completely), fix what’s worn or missing, paint it, polish it or plate it then ya just put it back together, that’s all there is to it!
I’m a househusband Dave, so I gotta get goin’ on supper for my “big old wife” right now, but I’ll take a look later. Someone will probably jump in and help ya out in the mean time.
The scribe, I got him out of a monastery in Bannock Woody….
Sure, Richard stop on by any time your in the area. Taint much to see, just some old broken down machines and an over crowded hanger and basement. I’m kind of a recluse don’t get out much any more. You wouldn’t be working on that New Standard D-25 that EAA has in their collection, there aren’t to many of them around. In fact a few years ago I don’t thing there were any that were airworthy. Come to think about it, they’re probably the only ones around flyin Liberty engines, no???
Well I’m really not on an ego trip, I just post this stuff cuz I want to share what I’ve learned with some of the younger generation. Us old timers are gonna be gone in the not to distant future and it would be a shame to take everything that we learned with us. Saw that happen to an old prop carver from Texas, sure wish I could have spent a week with him and picked his brain, but he wanted to keep his secrets to himself.
