When I decided to try a fEarful build as a quarantine project, I posted this thread sing advice about tools and stuff. Some requested build pics, and I figured I's start at new thread more aptly titled to document my process.
How total noob am I? Maybe not absolute: I built a passable bass body in my college's wood shop decades ago, and haven't touched any wood working equipment since. I can solder patch cables and wire pickups with a reliable reference guide. My only power tool is a cordless drill/screw driver.
Assessing my skill level, I chose to order a fEarful 12/6 flatpack kit (the wood) and a fEarful 12/6 deluxe kit (the rest). In general I went with the least pricey options, but I threw in the tweeter too.

- D0604k (2 NL4 speakon medium size)
- ASD1001 He70 Horn + Lpad
- No handle cutout (will use a strap)

My hopeful goal is to mimic the "stormtrooper" look of white Mesa cabs:
