Here are pics. I will be using this video guide and I will also be referring to this animation guide. I will be building on carpet on a wooden table. Any last minute suggestions? What tools do i need? Is there anything I need (like certain screws) that may not be included with my parts? I may be livestreaming this so I'll post a link later if I decide to. Ill also be sli'ing is there a guide somwhere that explains that?
