The theme for this week is shiny. With all of my husband ToolMan's metal-based hobbies we have hundreds of pictures of shiny aluminum things, and I have decided to go with a favorite photo from 2002 (that's ancient!) This was taken in our two-car garage. Eventually the plane outgrew the garage and he built (yep, himself and the whole family and all of his friends) a hanger too.
This is a picture of the wings from his first homebuilt airplane, a Van's RV-7A. The shiny porcupine things are called clecos and are used to hold the pieces together during drilling and riveting.

Wow, I have never seen the inside of a plane. I never knew that stuff was inside. I know a couple of people who fly and work on and inspect small planes, but none who build them!

That is a gorgeous picture, but I AM glad you told us what it was. Never in my wildest imagination would I have guessed they were wings. He must be a very talented builder!
Excellent choice for shiny. Have a great day!
