thanks again for all the tips folks!
Yes, I was a sucker and went to LeBaron again today and got a bobbin and a few other odd's and end's but the guy there was great. He told me that I didn't need those extra tools/toys as well for what I was going to "start" doing. Even a customer spoke up and showed me what I need and don't need and told me a few tricks. Who would of thought that the shiny stuff you toss in a kids easter basket as fill would make a good flash on a ripping-jig? I didn't but he did and told me where to get decent size bags for very little $ too
So, when I get a few done I'll post them in this thread but please keep the ideas and so on coming!
*thinks, oh no, I've gone to LeBaron 3 times in 5 days and still need to go back again Friday for 1 last item; this is going to get bad.... HAHA
