Denny (and all)

I usually pull down pdf's of the vendor's catalogs and search there for parts. I keep an excel sheet with parts comparisons for price and availability.

When I'm ready to order, I just use part numbers and the sites tend to work pretty rapidly.

The spreadsheet helps me plan and helps me keep better track of wants vs needs. It also aids discussions of the ongoing project with my better half.

The downside is that I know far too well how much I've spent and on what. Then my wife reminds me its a hobby and recreation as opposed to an investment.

Have fun.
