HI! Its good to here that you have decided to build your own kit, the satisfaction of turning a box of wood into a flying airplane is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I am 20 and have been building kits since about age 4, I started with guiwllos. These are some of the things I cant live without in the shop.

First off, the building board. The most important thing is to make sure it is flat. I built a bench around an old steel door, from a building that had it replaced. If you have a sturdy flat board big enough to construct you plane on your set. Im not sure obout the magnet building board, never used one. I don't know if you would need a board with that or not.

next you need somthing to put on the build board to pin to, most guys you Ceiling tile sheeting, but again if it is warped make sure you secure it well to the build board so that it is flat.

Another important tool, ecspecially for a plane built from sticks as the kadet, is some sort of miter box or miter sander, to ensure good tight joints and optimum strength.

You should also make about a million sanding blocks of all shapes, grits, and sizes, you'll find the veary helpfull

Try to come up with many diffrent types of saws, weather it be an exacto saw, a scroll saw or a band saw, cause any kit you build will take some cuttin that an exacto just wont do.

Also keep on hand a varity of staight edges and rulers, protractors/compasses, T-squars, Triangles, pencils and erasers. Don't use pen on bare wood, it will show through almost all types of covering and will make a mess if you try to sand it out.

Mainly just gather anyhting you think would help, If it helps you is only a decision you can make.

and last but not least is pantientce and creativity. Remember your building your plane so make your plane!
