Black friday worth the wait?

Appreciate all of the suggestions guys!

Time to go pick up a HF buffer i guess (interestingly enough i was just there a week ago wondering if that very same model would work or not, and decided against it as it didnt have the metal stands to support the piece being ground). Loved hearing that it's actually more of a detriment to have it.

Bandsaws seem cheap enough to pick one up. great tip on using a chunk of weed to back up small aluminum pieces. i'm sure i would have learned that the hard way.

Aircraft Spruce and Specialty had a free shipping deal last year, I don't remember for sure but it might have been Black Friday or cyber Monday.

And the rest of the time they have free shipping for $350 or more so if you're buying enough tools or parts you can get that anyway (not hard to do!)

Other than OSH specials, that's the only thing I can recall seeing along those lines.

I do not know much about Black Friday, but my number one go to tool is my battery operated Dremel

Good news!

Put in my order for a most of the items today, or at least i tried to. Looks like Cleaveland Aircraft shopping cart is broken and is currently not letting anyone check out.

Having said that, i did place orders for a 3x rivet gun and managed to snag a pneumatic squeezer from Numatx. Really looking forward to seeing how it feels vs the traditional squeezers.

Thanks guys for all of the input. can't wait to get everything here so that i can start the build!

The one thing that I would recommend is picking up the phone and giving Cleveland a call. Mike built an RV-10 and he’s help provide tools for other RV10 builders, including me. When I started I got the RV-10 kit, but then talked to mike and ask for suggestions on “upgrades” that would make my life easier. He didnt steer me wrong.
