hi everyone . i'm new as well. if i'm interpreting hulky's question right, he (we) are wondering if there is a thread for a beginners "shopping list" if you will. for instance, i would hate to spend a bunch of cash on the wrong paints,or be using the wrong sealer, or whatever. i understand that there is some trial and error to be expected , of course, and some materials ,or techniques are "shop secrets", and i respect that . just trying to cut down my learning curve, and save some scratch.
anyway, there is some great stuff on this site, and either way i plan on reading on, and on, and on. thanks everyone
