Another tip on using the Olfa knife:
About The Project:
The airplane is a home-built, scratch-built Zenith CH 750 STOL. Building from plans/blueprints is a challenging way to build an airplane, since most of the parts you use to build it are not prefabricated. I chose the Zenith CH 750 STOL for its rugged design, its STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) characteristics and its aluminum construction. Zenith Aircraft Company has designed this airplane so that it can be built from scratch or from a kit by the average person. They provide excellent technical support for both kit and scratch builders. In addition, I'll be installing a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair 164 cid horizontally opposed, air cooled, 6-cylinder engine, with special conversion parts to make it suitable for airplane duty. This is what the airplane will look like when I'm done, although I'll have a different paint scheme:

Methods for Cutting Aluminum
If you're wondering how all this aluminum gets cut, check out my video below for the basic methods. In addition to the methods in the video, I've also use my band saw, router, belt/disc sander and spindle sander to shape everything from thin metal sheet to heavy metal plate up to 1/2" thick. Enjoy!
