<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: small">I love to build and build from plans and short kits. So I had to go all the way as far as tools. Probably $2,000.00 worth. Here is one of my three workshops. I have tools in all of them except the large power tools. They are bolted to the bench. My table saw is out of view but I also have that and a second mitre box saw. One is regular and the second one is a compound saw. I do move the bandsaw so I can rip planking when I want to plank my Warbirds. Currently I'm preparing to build a 124" wing span Ziroli F4U-5N that I blew up from the original plans. The Corsair in the background I had to scrap because before I built my new table I built it on a twisted hollow core door so the whole plane was twisted beyond repair. I found this out when I was checkingthe wing incidence.Now I'm using a more solid bench frame and an exterior oak solid core door supported by 1/4" x 2" steel screwed in place every 10". It was leveled in all directions. So be sure your surface is flat and then level. But flat is more important than level. Or you will build a plane that isn't straight and it will have to be trimmed way to much. The pictures were on RCSB so just push on them and they will enlarge. There isn't a blue square on these.
Kit building is for fun and ARF's are for flying while your building,
