Oscar,I totally agree with your formula on the relationship between work done and visitors.But it's been a long time since I've had a visitor stop by and even ask what I'mbuilding in my garage.I think a lot of neighbors gave up on me because I wasn't making much visible progress. Things have changed.New insulated hanger(garage) door for the hot summers. Hoist for fuselage so I have more floor area. Added more shelving for storage. Wife got a job as a Stewardess at AA.Finally got my drill press to work better.Got past my fear of cutting, gluing, welding a piece wrong.If anyone is coming through Dallas, y'all are welcome. I'll even come pick you up from your hotel/airport like so many on this list havedone with me.--------Curt MerdanFlower Mound, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I thought it might be useful to start a directory here of fellow steel tube Pietbuilders/owners so that we may ask eachother questions directly if needed. Thereis less info and folks available to ask those numerous stupid questions to.Not to mention those contemplating steel over wood. Im learning as im going, but feel free to ask away.Paul Donahue.

Paul, Forward your information to Jack Textor and he'll add you to the Piet Directory.You can sort the directory by city, state, fuse type, engine type, occupation.There is a lot of expertise in different fields in this group from beer drinkingto building. Some are great at both.I'll be giving you a shout the next time I layover in PBI.
