Thorp Air Command - T18.net

Here you go!! For the die-hart builder who wants to do it the original way. I have a complete set of handmade form blocks used to build a S-18. Used once to make all of the parts for a quality built S-18 (my S-18 project). Have to clean out shop so I can get to the final steps of completing my S-18.
Make an offer ( no wood burners). You come get the form blocks.

Really would like to see these form blocks go to a good builder. The blocks were used one time to create a full set of parts for an S-18. All the builder would need to do is pick them up or work with me to have the stuff shipped out to his location.

I'd love to take them off your hands Norman.

I kept all my form blocks in case we damaged our planes, glad I did as they came in handy when rebuilding N818LM

I lent most of mine (some of them I made out of tooling Masonite) to a guy who lived in the foothills West of Boulder, CO... he was retired Navy (for the benefit of Rich) and he was all hot about starting to build a T-18. I forgot all about it, and didn't hear from him for about 2 years. I finally went up there to see how it was going. He had absolutely nothing that resembled a T-18 part anywhere in sight. I said maybe I should get my form blocks back. His reply - "Oh, I didn't know you wanted them back." He said he had given them to some other potential builder and "couldn't get a hold of him anymore". The only thing he still had was the form block I made for the firewall - he was using it to support his hot water heater in his dirt-floor basement. It was warped like a potato chip. I left in a pretty bad mood, and that was the last time I saw him... heard he had passed away quite a few years ago.

Sounds like $$$ I loaned to a few relatives . No moral compass to repay . This dirt bag I would have brought him to Captain's Mast ! A trip to the water board , 30 days in the brig with bread and water ! Then I would get really tuff !

Yes, but he's a talented teddy bear, and he makes me laugh. Rich... I'd hire you to take care of the guy, but I'm not sure if he went up, or down.
