Way to go, db! Don't be intimidated by all the info regarding the plans. Use the check list Hal provides and just follow thre steps. At times the sequence doesn't make sense but it will become clear later on.
It's a rewarding project and i'm loking forward to seeing your first completed rocker.

If you don't have an angle grinder, you might consider getting one and one of those flap discs. They work great for removing lots of material quickly for the butt bucket.

I would also suggest a box fan blowing across the workpiece to blow the massive amounts of dust produced away from your face. |

I tried my portable DC and after about 5 seconds the bag was clogged with the fine dust. Shop vac the same. Ended up fogging the neighborhood with mesquite dust when I moved out onto the driveway and set up a fan so I could see what I was doing. |
