    Thanks Mike. I always wanted one but never had the bucks. Then I heard that the Mastro Livi Club was doing a group buy at a really good price & I'm a member. I had bought one before on eBay but the seller didn't send the COA with it because he lost it. He then tried to send me a pic of the COA, then a scan of it & I annulled that marriage. I'm glad I did. The one i got was a smokin' deal. I put the money aside from the one I returned & got the new one for not that much more.
    And the laser, I've been busy with other crap. I just need get the right software & flash the Arduino. I'll be busy again Friday & Saturday & not by my choice. I want to get it going so bad. Once I figure that out, it will probably be easy. I've had lots of good idea's, like you.

    Thanks!

    I done the garage underneath for 2 reasons. 1.) My taxes didn't go up for adding a garage (attached or detached). 2.) When I get old(er), I can turn that into a smaller shop and just walk downstairs in my slippers vs going out in the elements.

    The location isn't too bad, for Illinois. I built the house (in '09) at the far north side of our 40 acres. No other houses to the north for 3 1/2 miles...with virtually no way to build that way either, since it is deep ravines and BiG timber. On our section (1 square mile) and the section across the road, there are a total of 4 homes, including mine. So, yeah...the locale is OK.

    I can get 1K depending on what crops are in that year, but I have to cross other property lines (which they don't care).

    On my own property, however, directly behind my new shop, I have a 100yrd range set up. Then, in front going down my lane I can get 275 yrds.

    My newest find a henckels 50, looks to be a 6/8. Not much needed on this one just a little cleaning and a hone. My first henckels, heard many great things about these blades excited to use this one.
