Kinda makes me think about investing in one of those little Dremel table jig saws and start making my own from plans.

Other then when I was finding kits at auctions {we don't have them here in this area} I have been building from plans for a decade. My main tools are just a scrool saw and sander. If you have/make templates of all the parts in a kit you can build as many as you like. Cutting and sanding only takes a few hours and you it's a lot of fun plus you get to choose the wood you use. I was taught as a kid to finish what I start so you never see any half builts of anything in my shop. I finish what I started then go onto the next thing. I have friends with half built planes all over there shops. Parts get lost and they neve get finished. No good to anyone. Make templates of all of your kits before you start adding any glue!!
Kinda getting off topic but for me, drawing the plans then doing what you say is very enjoyable. It guarantees nobody will have an airplane like me, too!
