Title: RE: [RCSE] What is your favorite tool for building?






My favorite tool for building is my Magic Magnet Building Board made by Eldon J Lind Co.  I’ve got two boards and use both if I want to build fast (build both wings at the same time).  It is great in holding the parts straight until I hit it with CA.  I’ve been using these building boards for over 15 years now and really am satisfied with them.

Aloha to all on RCSE,

Thought its time for a new thread since it is building season

I'll start.  

My favorite tool for building/ working with wood is a Stanley 60 1/2 low angle block plane.  It gets more use than the sanding blocks, able to take off super thin shavings. I use it for shaping, trimming.  Set it on edge against a shooting block and  you can square and true balsa, plywood, etc. 

Its designed to trim end grain for regular wood projects, but for modeling its small enough to cover a wider range of uses when working with the size of wood we use in building.


What is your favorite tool??


good lift,

Tom

I was able to plan the LE right down to the sheeting, then had VERY

Ed,


I don't think its a shameless plug at all. The Davis is a great tool I 
have
a Davis plane and use it quite often.  There are areas where I use it. 
Its

simply not as comfortable in my hand (I do a lot of regular woodworking)
And I hone my Stanley  sharper than the razor blades on the Davis which 
dull
far faster. But I use both, side by side.  the Davis is the backup.  Plus 
it

has angles, which I can't get with the STanley - designed for straight and
flat.The Davis is more universal and less expensive.

Both are great.  Stanley first , Davis second.  Its hard to do without 
both

Tom, you and I are on the same wave length.  My favorite tool is a David
Razor Plane.  It's one of those tools that just feels right in your hand.
But it also cuts through balsa, basswood, spruce like butter.  I've tried
all the small planes from England, Germany, Switzerland and the USA but 
this

import made me get rid of all the others.  I've used one for years.

I liked it so well that I now import them myself.  I operate
www.skykingrcproducts.com and have them listed on my web site.

Now I know what you may be thinking.  This reply is just a shameless plug 
to
sell something.  It's not.  I do have one other tool that I'm sure 
everyone

reading this thread has at least one of and maybe two or three.  My Dremel
tool gets used every day I'm in my shop.  I have one set up in a Bishop
Cochran plunge base.  I have another set up for use with my Perecman servo
cut-out tool, another one is set up with a shaft drive and the last one is
just plain.  I should own some Dremel stock.

I have several other tools that I really like but my number one choice 
goes

to the David Plane.  It's a gem.
