Hey guys,
About 6 months ago I bought a CRP4848 kit and have been slowly working on it, and now I'm finally done with kit assembly and working on fine tuning, cleanup, and such.
I didn't do a full build thread because this was a bit more than I expected and my first build of any thing like this, and I did it with just some basic tools, a drill and a chop saw.
My background is in computer graphics (photoshop/3D Studio Max) and web programming.. not machining, carpentry, etc. But I went slow, stopped when I got frustrated, and took a long time figuring out what to do before doing anything. I'd say for every hour of actual work, I did about 2 trying to figure out what to do. But it's done and working. Thanks to you all on the forums, especially tooldesigner's videos on Youtube (you were my lifesaver), and a very patient Ahren.
Here's a video link to an overview of my build:

Sorry for the shakiness.
I asked a few questions in there so feel free to comment here or on Youtube for any tips, tricks and suggestions.
I'll update this as things progress.
Cheers
