Sakura, watercolor practice by jane-beata

Stacking some nice dimes with my little Marquette aircraft torch.

Shaping some. 025" T-3 for the bottom access panel on the tailcone. Inner panel is .020" heat treated.

Using the hammer to pre stretch some 16 gauge running boards I'm making. #quickworkpowerhammer #quickwork #powerhammer #sheetmetalfabrication #metalshaping #metalfabrication #nibblermedium #pullmax #ercoshrinker #blackhawkportopower #blackhawktools #blackhawkportopower #fabrication #handmade #runningboards #scratchbuilt https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LVrfMH7gO/?igshid=ezfzeousq555

Just spotted this 12 foot Chicago brake sitting by the road this afternoon, and now it's mine! The guy even delivered it! Now I have to figure out where I'm gonna put the damn thing! #sheetmetal #brake #sheetmetalbrake #chicago #dreisandkrump #vintageshop #powerhammer #quickwork #nibblermedium #sheetmetalfabrication #vintage #metalworking

Fitting up C model wing tips. Top half ready for final trim, after I finish the last little bit of shaping, I can fit Tue bottom half. #handmade #metalshaping #sheetmetalfabrication #aluminum #aircraft #p51mustang #planishinghammer #powerhammer #quickwork #pullmax #nibblermedium #airplane #wingtip #wings

Finally completed the toolbox I've been working on. It's certainly not perfect, but finished is better than perfect in this case! #handmade #metalshaping #sheetmetalfabrication #planishinghammer #pullmax #powerhammer #quickwork #yoder #pettingell #watervliet #droptank #aluminum #f4ucorsair #rivets #spotwelds
