Silverware Drawer Organizer

My dad was in town a little while ago and we were trying to think of a fun project we could bang out in a day. Since we moved into our house we just had a plastic silverware organizer that didn’t fit the drawer very well. We used “project oak” from the hardware store and got it done in a day.

Started off with a CAD model in Solidworks. Might seem overkill and not worth the time, but its worth it for the drawing.
A Baseline dim’ed drawing is great, makes all the cuts super easy.
Cutting some wood
..and gluing it together
We left the bottom open so we could use this non-slip material
loaded and ready to go

Reno Air Racer

I was thinking about building an air racer for the Sport category for the National Championship Air Race in Reno, NV. In this category home built experimental aircraft are pushing 450pmh+

One of the fastest aircraft in this category is the Glasiar Legacy. Seen above. I think its a really nice looking airplane, but could use a few tweaks, this is where I made a few sketches.

The top image is my take on a modified Glasair Legacy. The center image is a standard Legacy I used as an underlay. The bottom image is a P-51C 10th Air Command Fighter with a cool livery I used for inspiration.
