beater,

My theory has been, first built the shop, then build the house.

I want to get my basement setup as the new shop, then build the house on top of it. I have the log shell up to the top plates, but have quite a bit more work to do in order to turn it into a house.

My first industrial machine was a Yates-American G-89 table saw, I drove up to Sparks, NV to fetch it...5HP direct drive saw that will take an 18" blade. The fever was started...







I've built a few 1911s, not easy firearms to build. John Browning proved it's hard to distinguish between genius and idiot savant. He was certainly one of the most brilliant firearm designers, but for anyone that has built a 1911 and understands the complications of the angles on the ramps, barrel, lugs, et al, this statement makes perfect sense.
