The Shop (aka "Da Hangar")





I intend to start building the RV-12 in the garage. We have a 3 car garage and will use one of the bays for the initial building process. I have built two workbenches and they are shown to the left. I intend to build a large shelf above the tracks for the garage door. A few 2x4s and some plywood should make a nice shelf for the much desired storage space. Lucky here, in that, the ceiling in the garage is on the order of 10 feet.


The drill press, bandsaw, disc sander and grinder are not new. Had them for years and am finally going to be able to put them to "good use"!!!


The air compressor is on the floor behind the bandsaw and disc sander.


NOW, waiting for the wing kit to ARRIVE. Builder #88 per an email from Van's. Unfortunately, the quoted lead time is smack dab during Airadventure or very close to it.
