Five sheets of birch plywood, 7 sheets of .025 aluminium, over 1000 rivets and 400 screws later and ‘Ming the Merciless’ spaceship is coming together, from 8 till 8 every day, measuring and cutting panels and wrangling them into place, making the sheets do what they really don’t want to. Its very satisfying, sitting in the garage each morning, with a coffee working out what to do each day. I like the steady rhythm, and the goal of getting it done.
