Default Builder's workshop - Charlotte, NC

On Saturday, April 28th, EAA chapter 309 will sponsor a builders workshop in Charlotte, NC. The class is aimed at those interested in learning basic building skills (metal working, composite, electrical, etc.).

The $30 fee will include one Van's toolbox kit and lunch.

At the end of the day you will get to take the tool box home along with the skills you will learn.

Sign up by sending an email to eaa309_workshop@yahoo.com. The class will be limited to the first 20 people.

Although the toolbox kits are provided by Van's, people who desire to build other types of aircraft are strongly encouraged to attend.

Additional information and directions to the class can be found HERE

Tool Box Kit Practice Project

The Toolbox Kit comes with documentation, along with all the parts and rivets needed to complete the toolbox. This training project consists of several pre-punched parts that are riveted together to form the box and lid and a hinge to hold them together.

This training project will give you the chance to try several different styles of riveting, using aluminum parts identical to those that make up the airplane. The completed toolbox is just the thing for a traveling tool kit when your RV is done or for holding your safety wire supplies, etc. Finished toolbox measures 16"L X 6"W X 4"H.

Bill,
Don't forget to have them Pro Seal the seams this year, so their "ice chests" don't leak!

I had a great time last year, and Bill's crew puts on a good workshop. Well worth the time if you're close to Charlotte...or just want to get out of your home town for the weekend...
