    ron sutton aviation mechanic, welder and sheet metal worker

    I made all kinds of tools from anvils to universal sockets. I took a 14 inch HF band saw and made it into a 25 inch deep throat cutting table I can cut a 4x8 sheet of steel in half

    Hi Ron - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Sounds like you'll fit in well here. I'm a rookie pilot myself, and our other admin built an RV.

    Be sure to post pics of that cutting table; sounds like an interesting project.

    Hi Ron,

    Welcome!

    The cutting table sounds neat - let's definitely see some pics!

    BTW, I'm the RV guy! What sort of A&P work are you doing?

    My RV is long gone, unfortunately. I miss it every day, but life went in a different direction for a number of years. Now thinking about exploring another corner of aviation, as the siren call of an L-39 grows stronger…

    Obligatory RV pic attached.
