Laying out the wing stand on the floor to make sure everything will fit. It turned out that I was able to keep both work tables (I originally thought I'd have to disassemble one) by placing the stand about 2' from the edge and putting casters on both tables. Everything fits great and Patti can still get the Ody in the garage.

Here's the attach structure to the roof of the garage. The garage door on my side will be inop until I finish with the wings. This is sitting right in the path of the door. It will only open about 3 feet now.

The wing stand mostly complete and with the spar assembly hanging from it. I ended up tweaking quite a bit more since things are pretty tight and you have to be able to attach skins and things in between all the support structure.
Van recommends a 4x4. I ended up making mine from 2 2x4x8' stock - it was better wood. Put some Titebond on it and 3" screws and it is super strong. Dead straight as well.
