I am only allowed to have her car out in the cold on the weekends when I am
actively working on the plane, but I still consider it a blessing. My
neighbor came by the other day and asked me how I talked my wife into two
bays, his wife would only give him one.
She also rented me a hanger at the airport......plenty of storage now, I
still prefer to build at home.

Rene,
Only 2.25 bays. On good days I am blessed with a great wife. I took
them all and put up a 12'x30' foot shed to hold all my other s#!t
(stuff). The cars can stay out in the cold. It is good exercise
scrapping off the ice and snow.

I also used the EAA plans. I liked them so much, I took the leftover
piece of 3'x4' and made another table (naturally, I had to buy some
more 2"x4"'s). Then, I like that so much, I did it all over again.
I'm working out of a decent sized hanger, so I had the room for all
these tables. I put the 2'x5''s against the walls for tools and
grinders and drill presses and parts bins and such. The 2 3'x5'
tables ended up getting clamped together with the dimpler in between.
Just make sure you modify the plans to include the top overhang. I
also covered each top with a couple layers of butcher paper. Overall,
I think I'm using about 13'x13' of the corner of my hangar. As you
build different worktables, keep them all the same height - you never
know which two you're gonna want to attach!

I cover my tables with cardboard. This way you can lay a part flat and
put a cleco in. The cardboard flexes and the cleco grabs the part.

I made 2 30"x 8' EAA tables with a 2" overhang - seems to be a perfect size
for everything. I did not put casters on them because I though that that
would not provide good support for the dimpler, but now I wish I had put
casters on the bottoms of both tables. I end up moving them around a lot and
I don't think casters would have made any difference to dimpling stability.
I often put some thin carpet or butcher paper on the tables depending on the
operation. The shelves below are really valuable.

The EAA1000 benches are very sturdy and will last a lifetime. I built two
but with a slight modification. Cut the top oversize to leave about a 2-3"
clamp edge all the way around. Come in very hand.

Congratulations on your decision and on the journey that you are embarking
on. My $.02, build as many tables/benches as you can comfortably get into
the space you will be building in. I'm building in a somewhat limited
workspace (15'x15') I started with 2 tables, 1= 3'x8', and the second
2'x8'. When I got to the wings I added another 3'x4' and butted it to the
3x8, to accommodate the length of the wings.
I used a design developed by an EAA chapter somewhere, they've published
plans and the things are pretty easy to build and pretty rugged at the same
time. Here's the link

Good luck

I covered my tables with berber carpet. The small filings, chips, and
the occasional errant rivet fall down in between the loops of the carpet
and the aluminum skins just float along on top and don't get scratched.
I even cut out several several rectangular openings exactly the size of
the backrivet plate. I keep the carpet in these slots usually, but when
backriveting, I take out the carpet "plug" and put in the backrivet
plate. It is the same height as the berber carpet--works great. Vacuum
up the small debris on the carpet at the end of the workday.
The best of the Christmas season to all the fine folks on this list!
