Can you please tell me if I'm missing a req for stage two?  Please 2x check my work so far.

I'm really frustrated by the lack of progress in a several areas.  I get stuck in one place, I try another, I get stuck there, I try another, then I have lots of mostly finished things all demanding my time.  I may have to throw money at the problem and figure out how to pay for it later.  Time to call some machinists.
