Folks, I steered Chuck toward a Cabelas kit that is specific to 10 basic patterns and includes the materials for those patterns as well as tools and instruction for the patterns. Wapsi materials. It's not what you are used to in a kit. Trust me, I had on eof those. For $55, you are welcome to come up with a better starter set. I got one for my buddy and it's working out great.
