Good for the heart.
Have to make it pretty. While Anahata was still on the hard I started baring up all the bright work in the cockpit. Once we were launched, I continued the project by baring up all the toe rails and handrails, using combination scrappers and orbital sanders. To make it easier I removed all the stanchions. […]

No Hands Video: the monitor
