Earlier versions of my "How To" guide included a step-by-step making of process. I have decided to provide all the information in different sections by topic instead. A couple reasons. One, it's easier for me to create the sections and update them in this non-linear fashion. Second, it's easier for you to find the info you need without wading through stuff that might not apply. Lastly, it encourages you to be creative and make the unit YOUR way.
