Greetings HBA!
I just ordered my fuselage and wing kits for a Dakota Hawk from FFP and am looking forward to the build (and documenting it here!). I'm starting extremely green - no tools and no woodworking skill - it's an intimidating prospect! Most significant thing I've built from wood was four pieces of 2x4 screwed together with a mesh base to make a soil sifter for the garden - definitely not precision work
.
While the kit is collected and shipped, I want to get started building the table. According to stories and other build logs, 4'x16' is needed. I was looking at the EAA workbench plans (http://www.communitygroundworks.org/sites/default/files/workbench_plans_SA1.pdf) and they're 2'x5' apiece. That's 6 tables (yikes!). Are there better ideas for such sizable work surfaces that folks have used for other projects?
Hope to start documenting the workshop build this or next weekend - really excited, but after this workbench I won't have a clue where to start! Any and all advice welcome - it's going to be a long haul that I hope to share with everybody!
