Yes, Norm. That's the url.
I don't see $150. in luthier tools unless your skills include making your own necks.
Lots of hammers and files which may be of no luthier use at all.
I don't think those tools will get you close to the luthier specific tools you'll
want for your first kit build. Just one man's opinion.
A good start would be the purchase of the Bill Cory book. See the ads on the left side of
your screen.

I was going to look at that Ebay ad, but Tommy is probably correct. You can make your kit with hand tools, and you don't want to waste your $$ on tools you really won't use. I STRONGLY suggest you get Bill Cory's book, it will be most helpful on your first build. Plus, he is a friend of mine and want to help support him :>)

Somehow the book was shipped to my old address in Calgary in my girlfriend's name. The guy doesn't believe I ordered it because it is in my girlfriends name even tho my credit card paid for it. He wants the person it was shipped to, to forward it to me and she's sitting right beside me. I don't want to start the guitar without the book. I don't know what to do now, I guess I paid for a book I am not getting.
