I have almost finished a 12' x 10' storage shed in my yard and am seriously thinking of building my own workshop to get to building a VP-2. This is the jumping-off point, a neat little 18' x 14' woodworking shop by David Stiles with an additional area for lumber storage:
I could see making it a little larger, perhaps 20' x 16', or simply adding a shed-roofed extension on one end to allow for longer components. Obviously, I am not looking for a shop big enough to assemble an entire aircraft, just to build individual components (wings, tail, fuselage) for assembly outside or at a hangar.
Thoughts? Lessons learned? Comments welcome.
