Building a lion from scratch is not something I recommend. Trust me, I speak from experience.
But if you want to try it, here are my notes and pictures from the project.

If you do decide to attempt it, I wish you the best of luck and please drop me a line and let me know how it goes.
I'd love to hear from you, especially your thoughts on how helpful my notes are or if they're completely off base.

To submit something to this page, email me with the relevant information. Thanks!
