I was thinking about trying Bradford's Youthalele for my first build but I may just go with the stew Mac kit instead. Since most everything I need comes in the kit.
I was reviewing the tools list and it seems very basic and I would think there should be more tools to make it easier and have a better end result. Maybe the simplified list is just marketing to make it seem less expensive to build?
For example: Their tool list has a knife and file, but in their video tutorial it says you could use a dremel and guide to trim the overhang and then it only shows him talking about how to do it rather than doing it.
So my questions for all who have built a stew mac kit: What tools are actually needed to make the build go easier?
And I see there was a longer kit build DVD (the DVD is 109 minutes vs.. the new online videos are 52 minutes) by the original Mya-Moe folks using the Stew Mac kit. Would it be worth tracking that down?
