I'm building a wood working bench for my tiny apartment I share with the gf. Pacific NW weather keeps me from being able to work as much as I would like out doors.

ya its illegal to buy certain things online but you can buy the 80%lowers  and drill them out, its a total pain and takes forever then you can buy the parts kits and everything.  Also its illegal to pay someone to do all the drilling stuff for you so you have to do it yourself.  its a good way to save some money if you build a few of them

I have one I quit using but it was cool for a couple weeks

I have one of those I built if I had to do it again instead of making the edges flush I would have have a 2inch lip about an inch wide so I could use clamps better.  If that makes any sense anyway heres a picture of my bench.

I've got 5 herniated discs in my back, so I've used them many times. Stick on the electrodes and crank that thing all the way up. I was in heaven (for a while.) What's funny is to trick someone who has never used one into giving it a try and putting it on full blast.

I bought...and moved into...a foreclosure. My entire life is a friggin' project right now. It was almost a relief to get the pneumonia, it gave me a reason not to work on the Damn thing for a few days.

I think your awareness of guns could fit in a thimble my friend.

Gun laws, probably yes.

 

 

Guns as a whole, probably not.

Nice. How thick is top? That's probably about the size mine is going to end up being. Putting on a front vice and drilling in some dog holes for surface clamping with hold downs and bench dogs.

if I recall right its a 2x4 and 1/2inch ply.  I should have put some holes or made a lip like I was saying, it works great though as long as you don't need to clamp.

Very cool.  That's one of the things on my list.  Are you planning to use MAME?

 

At the moment I'm in the process of building a robot for my grandson.  I'm still 3D printing parts and need to write the software for it.

I have some mame games.  Mame is a pain to set up and some don't want to work at all.  I can't get metal slug to work to save my life, most of the arcade fighters I just use psx, sega, or snes

I have been purchasing junked Lionel Trains on e-bay and rebuilding/repairing/restoring them.  No formal training and no license so finding parts has been a challenge at times.  My youngest recently moved out and her old room is being turned into train room.  My inner geek is in all out flame mode.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
