Super SEXY Nate, going to look awesome in copper

Nice Nate, dont forget the break a bottle of champagn, and also one to drink, I send ya $1K in Monopoly money, just for champagn.....

Ya knew what I ment
 
Got 6K I can borrow till next fall, Ill get started on mine

thats 6K just for the foundation, walls, roof, shingles, and siding. Just enough to get it the dry. Not counting tools, insulation, sheetrock or electrical, I havent even looked into having a backhole dig the foundation, I can of forgot I cant do the digging myself since I hurt my back, But Im sure a few hundreds bucks to do a 20x30, he could nock out in an hour or two.......
 
Tool wise, just to get me started, Im looking around at 1K, which isnt bad at all. First few projects will be hardwood, and at least pay for the tools on my first few projects. Im hoping to at least break even from what I put into it, that first yr. 7K dosent sound like much for a yr but Ive been with PizzaHut 6 yrs and Im only making 12K at 40 hours a week. I can prob do 20 hours a week wood working and make what Id be making part time at PH. Jan-Feb I go back down to 20 hours at week at PH, thats only 6K a yr. Sorry for the rambling, but I like talking shop
 
In short, what Michelle makes(not counting what she'd make when she's done witth school in two yrs) and what Id could make doing woodwork part time, we'd break even and no more kitchen work on that hardazz concrete floor, and Id be working for myself, no corporate BS....
My following next investment would be something like this, Build up to anyways:

I laugh at peoples that say, ya need 100K to start a woodshop, the rest if the tools needs would be less than linked table saw......
 
 
How many machines ya got total Nate?

When can I move in?
Ill do all your woodwork ya want for free........
I tryed looking local for hardwood, I might have to go to Little Rock, 30mins away. Dont know if Id ship hardwood?

I will send you a PM when the time gets closer.
 
I think i finished waterproofing the mill enclosure, albeit far from pretty.  I hope to test it today. 

Thanks!  I just tested the enclosure.  Its definitely waterproof.  now if only I can get the video to upload...

wifes ruin everything
 

its 1 am... bed time.

I tend to favor 4x8 sheets of MDF.  The stuff is practically machined flat.  Makes for great building, but don't get it wet.

so hows progress. i have never went water cooling before and would love to with you block :)

about how much would it be for a full mb block in a copper base and i dunno a black acrylic top with an etched logo? ballpark? or should i PM you about this stuff?

Very nice mate, wish I had the tools and ability myself hehe (or even just the funds to sort the first so I could acquire the second lol)
 
You have secured my choice of motherboard for my new build, the Z68 FTW! Very much looking forward to giving it the "Natemandoo" touch :)

Oooh shinny!

WOW, great progress Nate!
 
Can't wait to get a set in my hands. I ended up gifting my P67 FTW to my sister and have been running a Z68 FTW instead. Glad to see there are no differences in the layouts. I too noticed all they did was put stickers over all the marked P67 parts.
