Well, I've gotten a lot of feedback from all of you, and it looks like we are in good shape. We should end up being fine on the tool end so long as those that have given me a thumbs up are able to come. As far as Gardner being far from some of you... sorry guys. If I could fix that, I would. We needed a spot though, and I can make a spot happen. Won't be a closed in, heated/ac shop - but it will be a concrete floor, with walls, and enough room for some presses, people, and gun building. Shit, I'd be up for doing it in a shack built out of pallets if that were my only option haha - Not to mention, you can drink, eat, smoke, and swear all you want at my place. Nobody is going to care. It's right off the highway too, so it's easy to find. I'm the only guy with eight chickens living this close to the middle of a city, so my neighbors are used to a little redneck-ery.
Anyways - I'll be sorting out what's good for days (trying for April 25th) and will be getting all the details ironed out, so by tomorrow night I should have a new thread created solely for moving forward on an official build party.
