JIG: A home-built device designed to misalign parts as they are
fabricated.
Table saw: efficient powered tool used to convert expensive spruce into
worthless dust.
Sewing machine: another power tool used to assemble an monstorously
large section of fabric into an impossibly large section of fabric.
Drill bit: a convenient way to fill holes in metal parts, or hardwood
such as white ash landing skids. Frequently used with power drills, the
pointed end is first inserted into the hole, and then the drill is used
to snap off the appropriate length of bit.
Transport trailer: a device for rotating your aircraft, airshow
displays, or both onto their side for more difficult access. Best used
on US 36 between Joe's, Colorado and Last Chance, Colorado in
crosswinds exceeding 50 kts.
Aircraft rib steamer: a good way to use up 161 lbs. of propane gas
Wright 1902 Glider: ancient and obscure device used to separate men
from US Dollars, roommates, neighbors, romantic partners and the
generally sane. other uses include vaccum-cleaner test module, storage
obsticle, transport trailer ballast, that thing hanging on my wall
above my bed, and my sole source of income for the last 3 months of
2003.
Merry Christmas,
Harry
