Hi James, it will depend on what tools you have how its best to go about making the parts you mention. If you have a specific shape in mind and do not have machines it can all be done by hand. If you intend to invest in machines then read the threads on the forum and decide what you want to get first. Use the search button and just search the type of machine you are interested in you will find lots of information. No matter how many machines you have though you will need to have good hand skills in my opinion so that is where I would start.

Hi James, good to see you've joined up. You're going to spend lots of time here it's highly addictive (just ask my wife).
