I've done a few online courses, and video based ones like Craftsy does is a great style, you get someone physically showing you how to do things, but you can pause it whenever you like to take notes, and, of course, replay as often as you like.  As Becky says, a photo album type feature and group discussion whether on google groups, a notice board style, and/or live chats at certain times, is also a bonus when you have questions.

Sorry to hear of all the troubles you've had, good luck with the remaining fund raising!

I only glue the head bolt, and I don't use lock nuts on the head, just regular nuts, but I use two to get the lock nut effect  Sometimes on the head I use the cotter pin wobble joints, but they're actually pretty easy to attach.  For the limbs I just use a socket set at one end and a spanner at the other, then I finish stuffing the limbs after that.  I like my bears to stand though, and I don't think you can get cotter pins reliably tight enough for that.

I have a plastic drawer unit full of mohair, and another of faux fur, but my worst habit is collecting 'photo props' and 'potential bear decoration'  bear_whistle
