- guides are pretty good, there’s a lot online. My suggestion is to start from the metolius guide, read the other guides, and then check the reddit links.
- Right now there seems to be a bit of shortage of tnuts. Order 1k of these in advance, you’ll need a lot
- invest in a decent drill and impact driver, and a circular saw.
