I don't think you realize how low maintenance I am. I have no time frame for the build, I'm not going to complain it's going slow as long as it's going slowly.

So first off I apologize if my images are too big, I couldn't find a guide here with suggestions for image sizes so I figured 1280 horizontal should be good in this day and age! So I occasionally get wild hairs from watching YouTube videos and after watching enough knife making videos (Walter...

Wait so you're telling me dewalt makes tools in Yellow now?
