Looks as if it very well could be ...

BTW - very interesting table legs. I wonder how much the table racks when under sideways pressure. Sure looks like a very neat idea ...

For those who haven't been lucky enough to visit Alan's shop check out his gallery here. From the restaurant quality cleanliness to the half moon on the bathroom door in the workshop, it is a bit overwhelming for the "rest of us"

That is my adjustable height assembly table- you'll get a chance to see it if you guys ever make it out here to pick up your QSWO!

Not much racking- I could add some bracing, but it is not needed for an assembly table.

There are more pics of it in my gallery- some after it was painted gray and the "warhead" attached. I haven't gotten around to adding a propeller and fins yet

You guys have got it all wrong, Alans shop is used and there is dust all around, it's just so white and grey(think Delta) that you don't notice it.
The assembly table doesn't wooble much if at all, and the storpedo is much cooler in real life than in the pictures. He's a great guy,with a cool shop.

Jimmy

ps. Hey Alan I have first dibs on the wood that's not picked up

Oh, a sail carrier! The last time I saw something that large, it was in a Cheech and Chong movie.

Hey Tom,

Did you really get to see a Cheech and Chong movie... I mean through all of the smoke.

Yep I'm thinking it's most defiantly a rocket. Alan has painted primer gray and attached the warhead
