Morning folks.
Pulled the trigger on my kit purchase a couple of weeks ago. For the past 8-10 months I've been reading everything I can on PS, scouring the manual, burning birthday and Christmas gifts on tools and such, etc. (all the stuff everyone else has done before me). I've built one other CLC kit, the Jimmy Skiff II and have just finished that. My PS kit is scheduled to arrive mid-May, and I'm spending time getting ready.
I have a few questions I'd love to put to those of you who have completely finished your builds. A little debrief survey, if you will...
(and I'm happy with simple answers too. i.e. 'no', 'yes', 'nothing', etc. all work)
1. Tools/Equipment : anything in particular you wish you'd had, or conversely, wish you hadn't wasted the $ on?
2. Construction: what do you wish you'd spent more time/attention on?
3. Construction: what do you think you wasted too much time/attention/money on?
4. What was your favorite resource besides CLC/website, this forum, or other people's blogs?
5. What is the top non-tool addition or change you wish you could make to your shop if you were building again?
I'm really excited to start this and infinitely grateful to everyone who posts here and all of you who have taken the time to blog your builds. As you already know, makes a hell of a difference to newbies.
