1>There are several types and classifications of materials we may use; the basics are Carbon Steel
(CS), Stainless Steel (SS), Aluminum (AL). Although each has several grades it is not as important to

U
2>When stating the size of the main part keep in mind that space is limited; for sizes less than one (1)
inch, use metric values. The number positions for sizing are hindered feet-feet-inches (000).
