Hi all,
New to the forum and seriously considering the RV14 as my first build. Have ordered the plans (and looked at all the plans updates on van's site) and it seems doable.
No real metalworking experience, so would like to start with a toolbox or something, but for this i need tools!
Seems there are a few suppliers, but hoping anyone can share their experience of purchasing tools from the US to Australia, and i am tipping shipping is a killer.
Any company better than any other? Any tools to avoid, or any essentials (the DRDT2 seems a must, but a pneumatic squeezer i am not sure about).
Any tips on the most cost efficient method for getting money to the US (don't want to use a credit card), or best shipping method?
Thanks all - as i said, first timer so assume nothing!
