Hello Richard. I just received my plans this week and am also collecting tools. Most recent acquisitions are: Drill press and sander from Craig's List and band saw at garage sale. Just purchased a Bosch combo router from Lowes. Planning to build 4x12 bench then purchase some aluminum to get started. Am excited but apprehensive all at once. It's going to be a long journey.
I found a local supplier for all of my aluminum needs with prices that seem competitive. Had not heard of The Yard but added their link to my favorites for consideration; looks like a great resource - thanks. I like the brake that Larry Winger built on his bench which looks similar to other designs I've seen other scratch-builders using. Have you built one yet?

Thanks for welcoming me to the community. I'm psyched to get started. Time to get the garage organized!
