I got all my raw materials for $130 today.

Factor in an extra $20 for some mdf, and $60 for a dremmel if you don't have one, and that's about it.

^^i'm sure i overbought, so keep that in mind for my price

it's my first time, and i'm paranoid about mid-project home depot trips

there's nothing i hate more than having the battle through traffic half way through a project
