Hey Ed
Like Steve said . Been there.
Most of us started out with simple hand tools or no tools at all. and with Luck, Hard work, time and experience we gained the tools needed and the space
to work on our special projects. So keep the faith brother and keep making all the membership proud to what you can accomplish.
If you need a shop move up here by me in Michigan . I have 2 shops and access to a lot more resources.
Get me those pictures so i can make you a BOTM
