"Your
plans are
excellent and I had
a great deal of fun
building these planes
this winter!
I am very pleased
with the results and
found the challenge
of building these
planes well worth
the effort.
The plans are just beautiful.
Everyone who sees
the planes wants me
to build them one."

& Small) + Small X-Acto Knives +

Suggestions:
If
the thought of building one yourself does not interest
you, but you would still like to have one, have a friend
or neighbor with the woodworking equipment & skills
build one for you or help you build it. You might take a
woodworking class and use one for your project. Make
it a family project where everybody does a part of one
& each helping the others. A great learning experience
for all with Patience & Diligence!
