I am on my first modern kit my last one cost $9.95 in the late 60s. I have already learned several rules:
1. CA knows instantly when you have made a mistake.
2. "T" pins can jump when your not looking, you find them on the floor.
3. I have not made a mistake but my Exacto has goofed a couple times.
I have posted my trials and tribulations at:
