    That was a lot of welding... just a couple more pieces left.

    The swing down got some self etching primer and then a black base primer.

    Pro tip: I you just welded a section, don't use that section to rest your arm.

    4 run, 2 don't
    So not sure if my texts aren't going through in our group chat.

    Got someone buying my CNC table as I just ordered a better one a few days ago.

    Should be back in business in about 3-4 weeks.
