and the best thing is that i only have to pay half as my dad is paying the other half, now i just have to get a decent set of tools, right now i just using a few chisels i found around the house.

Very cool, should save you a bit of money in the long run.

very nice! Just keep your chisels SHARP and your progress slow and deliberate. Balsa can be a bear if you don't respect it
