2 hrs. on splitting the workbench.  Spent a couple of sweaty hours on this (with a couple of friends helping!).

Line drawn for the bottom cut...

Using my trusty Sawzall...

You weren't expecting a clean cut with a Sawzall, were you?.....

After moving the fuselage back and forth to make the cut (the upper surface cut is not as nice as the lower one... But, this isn't a beauty contest...), the table is split and the channel lined up over it.

And ready to start the test fitting.  This should be interesting...
