We've been having a great time getting started with our SP desktop, and have finished a couple of projects now. Great fun! and not hear as scary a learning process as we first thought - bty Thanks TJ for all those videos!!

I'm realizing now, I need to get up to speed on basic materials options and WHERE in the heck to you buy this stuff??

I found some hardwood suppliers that are willing to work with schools in town (thanks to the Woodworker's Association), but I'm not even sure how to begin with non-natural materials like PVC, PB, and the like. (Yes, I've lurked the sign forums a bit.)

And is that what white/blue SP seems to use a lot in their workshops??

All that to say, is there some type of "quick start" guide to "basic material supplies and buying?" for a group like us just starting?

Thanks!~ Les
