I realized that today and thought I should try to make up for that so I put together a short chronicle of my build since February of 2007 when I first began the build process. Naturally that did notbegin immediately since I too ordered the prints, sat on them of a few months contemplating just how to begin. I had the good fortune to let a friendboth convince and help me get started. He convinced me that I had the skills and just lacked the confidence to begin. From the time I got the prints I traveled and visited other builders and got some really good advice, the same tha I pass on to others making sure I give credit to the person I first herad it from. I posted my album on facebook and immediately received some ratherflattering comments, which I never expected. I though that for what everreason those of you not on facebook may also be interested to see some of my progresspics.Actually since I have not made any of the pub;ic in the past and have only talked about building I figured it was time to lend some crdability to my claims and share some with those of you who have been more than willing to share their pictures.I hope you find them suitable and worthy of your time and enjoy looking at them as much as I have in building them. You should note that the pictures of the laminates were take by their skilled craftsman Dennis Vanderweide,who I am proud and privlidged to call my friend, mentor and convincerof the notion that I too can build a Pietenpol. Without whom I would still be lurking, wondering, wanting and dreaming of building my own Pietenpol while looking at the prints and never doing anything about it.ThanksJohn (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid 54770&id=1048252084&ref=nf) _My Piet Progress NX895JR_ (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid 54770&id=1048252084&ref=nf) ETHEL...ETHEL....Hell you say that dern fool is building an airOplane in his basement, donch know?
