Hi boys-n-girls,
I'm going "Full Monty" and converting the living and dining room of my 3rd floor condo into my RV-8A workshop. The neighbors are onboard, I've got the logistics of "extraction" worked out, and I just arrived back from Van's (~7418 miles round trip) with my wing and fuselage kits (went to Moriarty, NM to crew in the National Club Class Soaring contest 1st )
So... I've got 14'x21' to play with and am looking for ideas on size and placement of workbenches, etc. I currently have a bench grinder, belt/disk sander, small table saw and a bench top drill press all on their own stands that I was using on my 14'x8' patio for the empennage. I'm pretty sure the grinder(s) will stay outside due to dust generation. Probably the saw too. The drill press only makes "chips", so clean up isn't too big a deal to have it inside.
I built an old school -8A fuselage 15yrs ago - the one that required a precision 15' long building table/jig. Since the current -8A doesn't need it, what are you's using for your fuselage "table"?
As always - THANKS!
