I had to buy a table saw. I first used it in the garage and I'll never do that again; big mistake even though I had the shopvac running.

Really didn't want to, but bought a planer. Discovered I really needed it to make some parts.

I decided to make my own metal brackets, so I needed to get a metal cutting band saw.

I'll be using this image to highlight when I came up with an idea or way to solve a problem.

Wood is so expensive that I sometimes will use regular cheap wood first to check my cuts/drilling as well as the fit with other pieces and brackets. I also use practice wood with a router and see the effects of going with the grain and against the grain.

I keep track of all orders. I'll sometimes have several orders at once and with some items on back order, it gets confusing. When a package arrives, I review the packing slip and take inventory. I always know what I received and what is still on order. The builders log book gives a section to record expenses. I log only items that will go on or into the plane. I save all receipts.
