The 1st time was 1970 at 12 years old. Graduated in 76 from Hug High (in Reno). Moved back to OHO in 81 and taught myself to be an auto tech, Certified Master now, 33 yrs. Moved back to Reno in 2003. Thanks for the birthday greeting. No swag, yet unless you think my new computer keyboard is Teardrop swag. Anyways, Dave in Marietta Welcome.

welcome to the forum Dave from another Nevadan with Ohio connections. I've never been there myself but I have a cousin who is a long time resident of Marietta, and our entire branch of the family came from that area way back down the line. Enjoy the site, you've found one of the best groups of people there is :thumbsup:

Yes, Dave: That should get you a really nice TD. I am building a Cubby I am calling the Silver Nugget from plans I got from Kuffel Creek on the internet. Until 2011 learn all you can and find some plans that fit your needs. You can combined ideas from several different sets of plans.

from my viewpoint that would be a fantastic budget 8) You can have some nice bells & whistles with that amount I'd think.
