Rocketeer 27 x 40 Movie poster (Art Deco Version) (Product of the month)

March 4, 2018June 2, 2018 / Spencer Gould

One of my favorite Aviation movies was the Rocketeer, it’s a well done & original comic book movie, 2 decades before Marvel & DC flooded the market with big budget movies.

This is a picture of my poster going out to the shop, I find it inspirational & the date reminds me of simpler times.

I got the frame from Michaels Crafts but it can also be purchased from Amazon

The original movie poster was an Art Deco styled version and has become quite collectable. To help the movie get better traction they came up with a 2nd version that featured the main actors including the main box office draw Timothy Dalton, who was the current 007 before he was replaced in 1995’s Golden Eye.

This book is aimed at people new to TIG welding mostly learning for their own uses and those who have been away from it for quite some time and are looking to get back into it.

So in the end what’s your time worth? Success leaves clues, this book can be your map along the Journey.

RC plane wing holder

February 17, 2018 / Spencer Gould

Here is a stand I cooked up a few years ago to hold my RC airplane wings.

I made around 5 to 6 of them and they are a good way to store the wings.

I keep them in the insulated attic above the shop, even with the intense heat of the florida summer the storage area does not get above 95ºF.

You can make it out of decently thick ply wood, 3/4″Ø wood dowels & some hot water pipe insulation
