Chapter 2 - Bill of Materials

This seems like a simple chapter but it takes quite a bit of studying and review. The first thing I did after reading through the chapter was to mark it up from the newsletters. The plans changes and tips point out a few things that have changed. I made these marks on both the category lists and the chapter lists. I then compared the chapter two list with the list from Wicks (only chapters 4 - 12 so far). There are a few differences. These include:

The next area was to study each chapter and compare the instructions with the bill of materials for the chapter. This is to make sure that each part is understood.
