Jan 23, 2021     Tools, tools, tools!       Category: Workshop & Tools
I'd say today was the major commitment day. All the workbenches and items purchased to date would certainly have quite a bit of use, even if I backed out of this project. Today, though, we're all in. I purchased the RV-10 Tool Kit from Isham (planetools.com). It really seemed like the best deal, included the pneumatic squeezer and the DRDT-2. I also upgraded to the "sioux like" drill.

With that out of the way, might as well go to Lowes and pick-up the band saw, drill press, bench grinder, and belt sander. Picked up an air-compressor at Harbor Freight. Still have a little bit of piping to figure out. I think I'll mount a filter and regulator to one of the benches so it is handy right there.

Got the note from Vans that my practice kit shipped too. Probably be a couple week before the kit and all the tools arrive, so I'll just keep focusing on getting the shop set up. Almost looks like an airplane factory already. Bulk pickup comes next week and I can finally get rid of all of the extra stuff piled up in the garage that I plan to get rid of.

Purchases: RV-10 Tool Kit, Compressor, Band Saw, Drill Press, Bench Grinder
