"Why are you using a hand squeezer?" Bought a pneumatic squeezer shortly after and this ended up being one of the best tool investments I made.

If it doesn't look right, stop and check. It's probably wrong.

Amen to every post. This has probably been my favorite post on this forum and can see inside each post during my build.

LISTS....
1. keep you focused, not overwhelmed
2. break a big job into small tasks
3. keep you organized when Van's instructions end
4. fit into your wallet or on your shop wall
5. allow you to cross off items after they are completed and that just feels good

I printed a list for every task large or tiny for every weeks task for 5years. At the end of the week I printed a new one starting with the task I didn't get to from the previous week and new task I wanted to get done. I threw all the old list away each week, wished I had kept them in a binder. Would have made a fascinating map of progress to go along with all the photos I took of every step along the way!
