Perhaps many folks do not know how to apply vinyl decals. This could be an opportunity to explain the "how to" and increase sales!

I could, indeed, do that. But I'm sure the launch conditions would be much less windy before your arrival.

Do the rest of the people spend more time listening or do they try to get away to launch?

Love to see rockets in the kitchen! That's where I build em too.

While you don't consider yourself a Craftsmen (even though you are), you certainly can maintain the description of Rocket Journeyman! Glad to see you decided to post this build, look'n really good!

My ex would disagree with you! :wink:

Next, the "box" needs to be drawn out using the scaling factor to enlarge it to the required upscale size. (The photo can be enlarged by placing the curser on the photo and clicking the mouse.)

I was a bricklayer for 5 years, then became a electronics technician until I retired.

Looks good. More to it then meets the eye, eh?

QUOTE=Marc_G;1719222] Wow! Thanks to everyone who supplied some very useful and appreciated information. I think I will take a stab at this, and see how it goes. I can always abort and flush out the mortar if it turns into a mess. And Bradycros... thanks for taking the time to put up a...

The course of bricks underneath the window is called a "row lock". It's the masonry equivalent of a wooden window sill. The row lock should be slanted down with enough angle to shed water. It should also protrude from the rest of the wall so water can not work its way back into the bed joint...

A box was drawn around the rear fin and measurements were taken. The photo can be enlarged by placing the curser on the photo and clicking the mouse.
