I wish sourcing parts were easier locally. My only option for components is Radioshack and it has been suggested to me to stay away from Carbon film resistors and that's all RS has. And they are kinda pricey (2 bucks for 5 resistors).
I'm gathering up a list of tools I need. I'm getting a 12speed Tabletop Drill press and milling vice (my dad is sending me one he never uses). I may actually pick up two drill presses one for drilling pilot holes and the other one set up with a step bit, or something to that effect.
I have a number of deep sockets for my ratchet set and a great soldering iron.
Got an older Sperry multimeter but I think I'm going to upgrade to a self ranging model.
I also want to pick up a few saddle squares.
Any other suggestions?
