So I figured I would start this thread and post some of "experiments," as I like to call them.
First thing I did was read tons of forum posts.
Then I tried to find the type of build I wanted to do by looking at tons of pictures. Honestly, this is pretty difficult. There are certain types of shins I like and certain types of other parts and then none of them go together in one type of build. Basically I think I'm just going to mix and match and build it the way I want.
Then I went and bought a bunch of supplies. All together I think I have spent about $150. That's starting from scratch.
Then I just tried different tools and techniques. I don't have a whole lot done. Three kids and a wife tend to keep me very busy.
The intent of this post is try stuff and post what works AND what didn't. There is no shame here. I screw up. So I'll post stuff that doesn't look good and try to explain.
Feel free to post your frustrations as well.
