Tutorial (Part I) Available Now

Hi everyone,

As promised, I've been working on the tutorial whenever I can find a spare minute. I decided to post this first chunk because I want y'all to have information about materials and materials prep so when the full write-up is ready, you'll be off to the races! Still on track to finish up by Saturday (evening, most likely) so I figured the "running start" would be good...

Please post comments in this thread so I can answer questions and incorporate feedback in the next version.

P.S. I am active duty military and the volunteer director for a non-profit – if it takes me a while to get back to you, I promise I’m not ignoring anyone! I greatly appreciate how patient and kind folks have been.
