Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

my mistake

Postby jimmrnice » Tue Apr 12, 2005 8:08 am

I am 90% finished with my tear based on the popular mechanix plans,1946. DON,t make the mistake of using 1/4 ply for the sides. I ended up framing the inside and adding acomplete skin inside as well. Lots of work.It came out nice but I,m tired now.
Also if youre looking for a good adhesive, use 100% silicone caulking. I have tiled my entire kitchen with it and if you want to remove a tile the wall comes with it. Good Stuff! got the tip from a pro tilesetter.. But only 100% silicone!!
Any info on licensing a 10ftx4ft tear in oregon? thanks, jimm

Any pictures? I would love to see the build process using the original plans.
Started many, finished none... Bought a TTT <Sigh> ;)
