[quote user="twomule"][quote]Why is that BS? Without any tools, it's hard to cut plywood by sheer force of will [:)][/quote]"Most" people I'm not buying, "some" people is very believable, but just because a person has a 4 x8 does not mean he cannot cut a piece of plywood. ;) The benchwork on my 4x8 is cookie cutter, it was much more difficult than sawing up some foam I can assure you.I guess the "broad brush" approach to 4 x8 modelers bothers me. [....][/quote]I'm sure that there are master carpenters with 4x8's out there; I wasn't implying anything about anybody's skills.I was making a point that not everyone has access to tools. To add to that, building benchwork would be very intimidating for someone without any woodworking experience. I used to build houses for a living, and building benchwork still seems a little overwhelming to me at times. Like anything else, the more I do, the comfortable with it I become. But, like someone pointed out earlier in this thread, your first kit isn't a craft-kit and for a lot of folks, anything beyond a 4x8 is like starting with a craft-kit.
