RE: building equip
Make sure you door is flat and not twisted. But here's my list of basic's;
Knife handle and assorted blades (a lot of #11's)
screwdrivers, phillips and slotted
Ball type allen wrenchs, metric and standard
Exacto saw
Good metal striaght edge (two or three of different lengths would be very good)
Clamps, pins, weights (like shot bags)
Two or three types of modelers buliding squares
Couple types of pliers and wire cutters
a dremel with a decent assortment of accessaries (cutting wheels and drill bits)
After this everything else is gravey !!!
