I am selling a lot of stuff. Bought a mill and built a kiln to dry wood and am really enjoying it.
I have 100 acres of good trees out here and some good lumber.

Beautiful engine man...
Built... 550HP Toyota MR2 turbo. Although I don't typically run it that high, as it's a track car (road course).
Also built... my house.
Bought... my 2017 KTM 450sx. I've owned countless bikes over the last 30 years, but this thing is just sick.

Good for you, I'll have to grind for a few more years to be there.
What type of tables are you making? I would post so.e pics but photobucket is shite.
The first table I made was for a really nice country house. They had a lot of 2×10ish antique cypress in a barn I could use for the top. It was beautiful wood, and perfect for the farmhouse 12 seater they wanted.
I didn't have the money or tools to make it efficiently, but I made do with a cheap ryobi planar, a hand planar, a skilsaw, belt sander, and a random orbital. Somehow that table still has the tightest joints I have ever made.

Hell yeah, that sounds awesome. Having the right tools is worth every penny. It always amazed me to see how much my work progressed from one project to the next. Let me know if you ever need an extra hand on that mill so I can gawk at your setup.

I helped cut the flare boom 18 years ago. We set on McDermontt Derrick Barge 50 foot some tulip work, then put it back on the platform.

Damn, guess my pics didn't last very long. Those are purple LED rope lights inside the letters.
