Default A way to hold your plans.

Credit goes to Mike (G-force) for coming up with the idea. I hope it helps someone out there. This is my version, maybe when he is done with his, he can post his results.

Hold your plans

Another idea at the bottom of this thread....

I bought some cheap clipboards, removed the clip part and screwed it to the wall.

My Tech Advisor used binder clips and hung all of his drawings around his shop.

I elected to build a drafting table to hold my drawings.


It was designed by John Petersen and his site is: http://www.petersenart.com/drafting_table/

Same here. Building an airplane is enough work

Neat Ideas. Initially I bought cheap magnetic white boards to attach plans and write notes around the sides. I also fitted 2-3 plans on top of each other, with the magnets on top to lift the plans. That worked well during the initial portion of the build.

Deeper into the build I found I am going backwards and forwards between the plans, so I just photocopied the preview plans. I compared them to the Big plans to note updated areas, and marked that areas with a RED pen.

I stapled the preview plans in 3 sets +/- 10-15 pages in a set in the corner. Now I have them all easily avialble, easy to flip them over. If I need something full scale. I just pull out the big plan for that area.

I find that since doing my photocopy sets of the preview plans I use them more often, than the big plans.

Regards
Rudi

Here is a view of my white boards with some plans in the background, ignore the pane..
