It's hard to fault this comment. I've been there and learned 30
years ago or more that manufacturer's literature is the best way to
become educated. Been doing that ever since. I've gotten to the
point where I just search for stuff I can imagine useful. I seldom
come away with the idea that I can't buy it and should just make
it. As a hobbiest, I do find that a lot of stuff sold for high
prices is really easy to make in my shop. Many times I get good
ideas for special modifications of existing stuff that better fits
my need. I really love catalogs that give dimensioned
diagrams......
