It Begins

Not the building, that has not stated yet and won't for a while yet.

What has started is the gathering of materials and close reading of my plans and supplemental plans.

So far I have ordered a wide variety of parts of various importance levels. I am not just ordering materials for my gurdy at this point but also I am getting tools for my shop. I will not be completely outfitting my shop because I am going to be borrowing some tools from Mike. But I do want some things that will continue to be useful after I finish.

I have ordered:

Phosphor bronze wire (for hinges)
A set of Brad point drill bits
A coping saw
One pound of powdered hide glue
And a 6" digital caliper
