"Construction" section on front page

I think it'd be valuable to add a section on fasteners (ex. what you'd find in Carroll Smith's book, Kent's MEng Handbook, or aircraft handbooks), materials (alu, steel, titanium, mag, plastics, and composites), and something on tools and welding. A start being:

    Sorry for the rough formatting, this was just an idea dump

      I think this is a good idea. It was suggested previously that this type of section be added. Perhaps it can be called "Engineering Materials" or something?

      We also need a place for a master list of reference books so that could go there too. What are your thoughts?

        Totally, I think a master list is a good idea, depending on how many books stack up, I think you'd want a single page of all the books/articles/papers separate by topics, unless the number of books becomes unmanageable for one page.

          I didn't see this discussion until now, but I made a Manufacturing category that has a materials subcategory, I hope that's okay

          I'll add a fastener subcategory as well

            Totally okay. I'll do some organization today.
