I had to acquire a lot of these specifically for this project. Things I had to buy for this. Ryobi planer - $65 4.5" grinder from Harbor Freight $20 Router speed controller $20. Japanese pull saw -$20 ryobi mouse sander -$30 Sandpaper - $20 Stain and Spar poly - $20 Wood burning pen - $15 Swiss made gouge - $65 4 weeks worth of beer, wine, scotch, and cigarettes - unknown but I bet its easily more than everything else combined. LOL So it seems I've invested about $260 in tools and such. Everything else I already had on hand. I'd like to again thank everyone here who has contributed ideas, thoughts, advice and encouraging comments. TC is an excellent resource.
