Yes Larry, I do realize the ultimate test of KRs in the real world, which has been absolutely no less than amazing, given there was no fatal injuries or casualties ever happened in the past, perhaps?! Stay safe & fly high! Dr. Hsu On Fri, Aug 7, 2020, 9:11 AM Flesner via KRnet wrote: > On

I have 30-6" clamps, 20-12" clamps, 2-4' clamps, 2-6' clamps and 2 pole clamps. I recommend an electric DA 5" sander, and 4 chisels 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1" And I have a 6" and 12" hand planer. I used nails and close pins to set the gussets. Adam Tippin A&P KR2S builder > On Feb 3, 2016, at 5:38
