home from afghanistan

Post by fightingseabee »

I have arrived safely home from my tour in Afghanistan and I plan on turning my garage into a shop so I can begin my Shopsmith adventure. I forgot just how much crap I had in here when I left....... I think I will be busy for a while before I can start wood working
