I guess there will always be some jobs that only a few have the tools,
space, and skill to carry out. Take, for example, those fellows who are
able to install new upgrade engines or paint the body.* At the other
extreme are those who have few tools, no space, and little experience
doing that kind of work.

The details of every job should be posted, regardless of the skill and
tool level needed -- as inspiration, encouragement, and motivation for
everyone else. This also may trigger someone to come up with an easier
way to do it. Take, for example, my wish for a shelf to hang from the
roof of the raised poptop. My original clumsy approach was bandied
about, better ways to accomplish it were posted, until Tom Buese
invented a simple solution which has come to be known far and wide as
the Buese Shelf.

* Such people should be taken out and shot.
