Default RE: Tools for kit building

I have been buying two of these to build on and they work great for T pins. http://www3.menards.com/main/home-de...612-c-7158.htm Clamps and pins ,glue tips and anything else you need can be found here. http://www.hobbylinc.com/clamps_tweezers If you think you want to build for a long time like i do you can spend some big bucks on these sanders . I bought a set of different ones 12 years ago and they work as good now as the day i bought them. I bought mostly the sanding bars and some ones for inside curves but i also bought a set of the spar slot sanders and i cant live without all of them. http://www.averytools.com/products.asp?dept=20 BTW i own many power tools but i realy dont use them on my builds , dremel tool is one i own but rarely use along with a belt sander and others. I use my scroll saw the most and a table top drill press once in a while. What iam trying to say is buy your small hand tools first and worry about the bigger power tools when and if you start scratch building. good luck and happy building. OH ! these guys talking about ca glue,I use only tightbond 2 wood glue because it sands easy , and is very strong with out getting brittle like ca. I use epoxy on landing gear and motor fire walls along with any wing hold down parts .
