Metal content: engine parts, control cables
Wood content: wings and fuselage
We all like to build things in our shops, some shops are big, and some shops
are small. We work from varied amounts of skill and time, and the projects
we make vary from the simple to the complex.
But building an airplane from scratch, that, for me at least, would be a
pretty big feat. And doing it mainly without one's right hand, well, you
can judge for yourself:

(note: there's a video on the page of the thing he built)

Someone on the web has to have closeup shots of that plane, it'd be
worth finding them.
