This thread came up on a chat for another board last night. Their consensus was that the boy should be encouraged to try making the shingles himself, even if he is only "saving" $3-$4 at the expense of a LOT of time and work. Their rationale? The skills and confidence gained will be useful for other scratchbuilding projects. In the big picture I guess this makes sense, but personally, I don't have the time (or patience) to rip a couple hundred (a thousand?) shingles by hand. Guess it depends on whether you think the journey or the destination is more important.<br>
