Even if you are thinking about it I would just buy the blank now! Its a SUPER price and if you decide against building it you can always sell the blank and get your money back, or pay someone to wrap it for you.

Well this is my first as well.

So far I bought

1 butt cap
1 reel seat
a couple feet of cork tape
a couple small eva grips (not sure I am going to use these yet but they where cheap and can't hurt to have around)
A set of whatever guides you want to use
Finish Epoxy (i got Flex Coat High build)
Rod Bonding Epoxy to glue the reel seat on (again flex coat)
and some thread in whatever colors you want to use!

I think thats pretty much it. although I am sure I missed something and i'll have to order it in the middle of building but no big deal!
