24 Jan 64 - Starting To Build

Dennis: President Kennedy had been assassinated and the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan Show, but we were going to build an Airplane. I think we wore out the plans looking at them. The first thing to do was to make a table to build the fuselage. It was made from plywood and 2x4s. It was winter in Michigan so this was inside work. The table was built in the recreation room in the basement. A full size drawing was made and stapled to the table. Blocks were nailed to the table to create a jig for building the sides. We were ready to build that Airplane.
