Getting Started

It took me a little longer to finish the kitchen work than I thought (and I'm still not totally done), but I don't need the garage any more to finish that, so I can get started on the kit finally!  I started by smoothing down one of the two spar reinforcing bars for the horizontal stabilizer's rear spar.  I probably spent 1.5 hours on this, but most of that time was spent experimenting with different tools and techniques.  The second spar reinforcing bar only took me about 30 minutes.
