    What a great resource for a beginner. Thanks so much for putting this together! I do have a suggestion though - is it possible to change the thread title so that other rookies will be able to easily find it? I'm sure that just this one post could eliminate alot of unnecessary questions. Thanks again!

    Thread title changed to add word "basic" and made a "sticky". If anyone objects because these are mostly links to commercial sites, please send me or Parrothead a Private Message. No intent to offend anyone.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Thanks Hobo!

    Verrrrry helpful. One thing though, it's very confusing sometimes to see the different ways in which the different yards define #1 #2 copper and wire...from what research I've done, I kinda feel like I've been ripped off a few times. Do you take any special precautions to make sure you are getting the right price for the right material? Thanks again -- Aidan

    Yes, If I feel like I've been ripped off, I don't go back there cause they didn't really want my business.
    Thank you Mick, might save some headache's.
