Subject: RE: Is this thing working?

I gotta second a construction practice that I see Christopher using that I
use all the time with real good success.

Note that he has his parts neatly lined up and poked vertically into a foam
block and in front of his work. As each part is called for, he picks it
out visually with no fishing with tweezers. Paul has thoughtfully made his
instructions so that when you take inventory at the start, each part is
listed in the order it's used in the construction (with very few
exceptions) so if you stuff each part in order into a foam block, you'll be
able to pick it out in order during construction. (Good job, Paul! Even
Heathkit didn't do this.)
