You forgot to put 'boredom' on your list of things needed.

lol, you might find it boring but for those who are just entering the spudding world, its the one project that pretty much gets you hooked (at least its what got me hooked lol).

We can't change the order. Sometimes it just messes up by itself. Nothing we can do. You could delete them and re-upload them if you're that way in mind though.

We hardly ever have weather like that around here
We just have a lot of light rain
It seems to always be raining lightly over here during winter, fall, and spring.

And about the step 11 thing you could just upload it on photobucket and place it were you want to.

Fixed it! I just decided to remove the step 11 pic and verbally describe it in step 12. It's the closest I can get..

I applaud this mini tutorial. Imagine me clapping so hard my hands turn into two huge blisters.

I'm going to make me another mini, got a pill-bottle laying around here somewhere....

Combining the "back-stop" and ammo blocker is original, I wouldn't have thought of that. Personaly, I use Bic "Crystal Clear" pens, and the tapered end of the tube keeps stuff from falling through. Gotta try that sometime.
My current mini is at the odd size that makes it extremely hard to fuel. I can't seem to wrap my mind around the obscure time needed to fuel the darned thing, seems something around 7 seconds....


10/10 On the Tutorial. *votes to sticky it*
