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
