I'm wondering on the many different methods being used to support the wings during construction. I have the wings in a dolly then place the wing on the work bench. I have a little trouble picking it up and placing it back into the dolly when I complete the work.
Just wondering if there is a better way. What I'm thinking is I could use MOD 69 tie down to hold the wing to a portable dolly. Then use the other end to control the weight and place it into the dolly once I complete the work. [quote][b]

If you have the space, you could have a few long tables, the type that are leg-foldable, close by to your workbench. When you need to move the wing off the bench, you just slide it over, and let the end of the wing tip down to the lower height of the table, slide it (it has a slick table top), lower the other end down, thus effecting the transfer. Works in reverse, and is workable by a party of 1. The wing is stored on the table, and moved off to different storage only when it is complete.

You might also take a look at making a dolly to support the wing while working on it and for moving it about the shop single handed. See this:
