i rant about shit to mine all the time, and yeah, it's totally helpful.

or a bell end

"i'll let them bribe me"

Wonder how fast these will sell out.

Also cold as fuck, and even if I got a heater, not ideal, because I'd def want the door open if I was welding.

100-200 for a welding unit, plus stuff like a mask, gloves, jacket or apron etc. That's another 200ish.

I guess I need to decide if 2000+ is worth it. It doesn't sound bad now that I typed it all out, but it's a summer project. Corvette takes up entire garage.

Like 6 feet of 1 inch extruded square tube steel is is about 50 bucks now. It was 20-30 last year. I'd need 18-20. So 900-1000 bucks. Probably another 500 for oak. Plywood 160-200.
A good metal cutting saw, so I don't have to use an angle grinder, 240 or so.

Wanted to do an oak top, with a nice finish on it. The shelves could be anything else, probably plywood with veneers.

I have a really cool design in mind too. My current desk has lasted like 20 years. I got it at circuit city on clearance for like 20 bucks, but it's particle board, and the top isn't looking so great after years of spills and use.

(Which powers access points.)

(I have a separate POE switch I use for that anyway.)

That was my experience, and a big part of why I never wanted to go that road.

I have feelings on that. Mostly because I didn't want to be a parent, and took steps to make that happen. I think a lot of people feel some degree of pressure in that, and maybe one person wants one, and the other doesn't, and ultimately the kid pays the price.
