Attaboy Hypter, take him under your wing.
MGW, You don't need ALL of the things mentioned. You will need medium and probably thin CA, and 30 minute epoxy ( I stay away from the 5 min stuff). Razor blades, a few hand tools etc. A lot of the other things are really nice to have, but not a dead necessity. (Besides, maybe Hypter will loan you his covering iron if you ask real nice. If he's really good, he may come over and show you a building technique or two)
