I noticed the build thread sticky at the top of the page and realized that I never started a build thread on this forum. Most of this has already been posted in a build thread on JU, but I thought it might be nice to have it here too. This build started almost a year ago when I purchased the WK, so the first few posts will just be to catch the thread up.
