Hey Flyboy...good news for both of us. I was just checking the next issue of FSM (November thats is) and there is going to be an article on the basic of photo etch

Flyboy the getting them off the tree I can help you with. I am still learning the rest myself. Its best to put the parts on a piece of tape or cut them inside a large pastic bag. I use a small nipper called a flush cut pliers found in hardware stores. The bag or the tape keep those small parts from becoming airborne when you snip it. The velocity they achieve is amazing. Oh I picked up a great tip here in case the part hits the floor. Someone said put a flashlight on the floor and the part casts a nice shadow more easily seen then the part. It works!
