All built in's..Sold off the table saw,band saw, joiner,lathe,etc..

The guy on the left in the pic is a friend.
Full time job was as a fireman.
Bravest bastage I ever knew.

I'm not in that pic. I did that as a favor for the guy on the left.
The guy in the middle was the "Chief of the boat" on the Carrier Kennedy and was retiring.
My buddy was in charge of the retirement party.
He went to get a plaque made and they wanted $450.00 and 3 months
He didn't have 3 months and asked me to do one in the shape of the carrier deck as seen from above.
When it was done he asked me how much. Told him that was my gift.
Should have seen me trying to take down that hard maple to sit flush with the mahogany.
Took hours..The maple is like brick, the mahogany is like soft butter.
Came out nice and the smile was plenty of payment.

Ash is better but getting harder to find in decent sizes..
Here's a little plaque I made a long time ago..
Brazilian Mahogony with hard maple inlays..

Awesome work Dave.

When you stick a hamster to the persons head and force them to install and run WCG on their machine.

Then they are compelled to join XS and start posting in a frightened state and can not focus on a single coherent state, then after they are left sitting @ their PC, they continue to post in random threads inciting multi directional conversations with no single point of topic.

Hey man, in addition to that, it made me shave my head and start spouting 300 lines. No lie.

I've become known as King Leonidas of Finseal. Gotta love good old JVC, where I make Crysis, COD4, Halo 3, et cetera, et cetera... and those bloody Dell MediaDirect install packages-if you've seen one recently, I made it. Probably has my fingerprints on it, in fact.

That my friend is exactly why we had to come up with a disclaimer. We have to protect Fugger from us "Crazed Crunchers".

I just blame Dave and everyone says... "Yeah, I know what you mean". :rofl: :rofl:

I am one of the crazy grunts who just run and guns. I am still a noob at it all, but already piling money and time into it coz I enjoy it and see very worthwhile reasons to :yepp: :yepp:

Nah, I don't do that much ;) We need more members and more machines!

Cruncher #2 is on the grid, which should double my output. Not quite sure why it took me so long to realize I have a perfectly good work comp that stays on 24/7.
