This video is just a quicky update to point out my two year mark of my RV-10 build. Nothing to get excited about.
I also talk about the future and some videos I am going to make.
More videos coming soon! I got into some bad shellfish and had a bout of food poisoning for my two year anniversary, so I'm a couple days late on the next video..soon!

New Year -- Same Build!
In this video I continue to work on the center spar fore and aft bulkheads and update you with where my tanks are.
I talk to riveting and give an example of how I do it. I know a lot of folks are concerned about throwing rivets, it's just not hard. I think most people over thinking it.
My camera work here aint great but I hope it gets the point across.
I talk a little to "under riveting and over riveting" and which one is worse. Or what I think is worse..
I also talk to my apology video a bit and address a couple peoples concerns. I'm not an expert folks.. never said I was..
I then talk to the scotchbrite 6" wheels that I have used over the course of the build.
Here is a link to all the equipment I have used to date;

The wheels themselves are "S/B Cutting & Polishing wheel kit - 3M Cut/Polish wheel 6"". I'd suggest getting two.

This is actually 3 videos in one!
In this video I go through and show you more about proseal and how to do the tanks. I'm FAR from finished, but it's a good start.
I show you 3 ways to apply the proseal, and note the first way is incorrect. I didn't use anywhere near enough! I point this out after the fact, so don't skip that.
I also start this video explaining why its been a while.. Life is creeping up on me! But I'll keep plugging away!

### Left wing nose rivets plus a ramble about "moving to the hangar"
In this video I go through and rivet the skin to the ribs on the left front outboard nose! Lot's and lots of rivets, and I only show the bottom in this video..
I also do a Q/A while working out there about moving my build from the house to the hangar.
I also discuss the long yoke squeezer a bit.

IN this video I go through the process of finishing up the hard metal work then begin the long process of dimpling, countersinking and deburring.. then a tool breaks.... damn it.

Update: I feel it's important to note that this is NOT meant as a replacement to VAF. But rather a place where we can organize and index discussions, videos, images from ALL over the internet. This wont be a "forum" like VAF at all.
In this short video that I shot from my motorhome I ask about a possible helpful product that I have been pondering.
I am a software engineer and I have the time, energy and expertise to make this happen.. but I wanted to know if you the viewer would find something like this helpful.
Basically I envision a digital plan system where you can go step by step through your build via a website instead of needing paper plans. This would allow for crowd sourced help in the form of pictures, comments, videos, etc.. all within the new digital plan system.
I have spoken to Scott Risen at Van's and we are kicking around the idea. This is still in the very early idea stage and we are still fleshing out all the features and requirements before we begin development.
What I'd like to know from you is if this is something you'd find useful?
What are your thoughts, needs, desires etc with regards to some form of online digital step by step tutorial/plan system?
Any and all input welcome here. Thanks guys.
