+
+### Level of difficulty
+
+The windkit is a electromechanical machine that needs basic skills and understanding ,or the will and dedication to learn these skills and understanding, in the folllowing fiedls:
+
+#### Wood work
+
+* Handling wood working tools and machines such as sand paper, japanese saw, wood chisel and hammer, spoke shave, plane and hand circular saw
+
+* Carving the three rotor blades from wooden planks
+
+* Cutting the wind vane from plywood board
+
+#### Metal work
+
+* Handling metal working tools and machines such as spanners, metal saw, metal file, cordless screwdriver or upright drilling machine, angle grinder and welding machine
+
+* Cutting different flat metal parts and pipes
+
+* Welding the nacelle
+
+#### Electric installation
+
+* Handling electrician tools such as multimeter, wire stripper, crimping tools and soldering iron 
+
+* Remove insulation from cables, crimp cables, connect cables via different connectors
+
+* Soldering the coils of the stator to one coil array
+
+#### Synthetic resin
+
+* Weighing, mixing and handling of epoxy resin and hardener
+
+### Time required
+
+Building the windkit is no afternoon or weekend job. We recommend: Don´t set yourself a tight deadline when buiding your first windkit. This way you will learn the most and reduce the risk of errors or even accidents.
+
+Very rough estimate of the overall time required to build a windkit:
+
+* **Overall time estimation: 100 hrs**
+
+* Get the components: 16 hrs
+
+* Building the three rotor blades: 36 hrs
+
+* Building the alternator: 24 hrs
+
+* Building the nacelle: 8 hrs
+
+* Building the wind vane: 8 hrs
+
+* Assemble the windkit: 8 hrs
+
+### How to start the project:
+
+1.) Find a friend or friends who want to build the windkit with you
+2.) Get familiar with the [bill of materials (BOM)](3.Tools and materials/1.Bill of materials) and the [tools required](3.Tools and materials/2.Tools)
+3.) Get familiar with the section [Get the components](4.Get the components)
+4.) Browse through the section [Let´s build](5.Let's build) to get an idea of the manufacturing steps
+5.) Browse through the section [Let's assemble](6.Let's assemble) to get an idea of the assembly
+6.) Order the necessary components (see [Get the components](4.Get the components))
+7.) Follow the step by step guide of [Let´s build](5.Let's build) and [Let's assemble](6.Let's assemble). 
+8.) Enjoy: The journey is the goal.
