Don't worry I do too haha

Furniture looks awesome man!

Yeah I'll join the club of '02 owners who can't do magic by making 2 pieces of metal flawlessly become 1.

[HUNTERMILLS]

Question. How are you framing all this stuff up? It looks flawless.Im still in welding school and thinking about making some furniture for my new house i just moved in too while i still have access to a welder.

Great work bud, Loving your attention to detail!!

This makes me want to start designing interiors again!

[Shepherd]

Really enjoyed reading/looking through your thread!
Great work on everything, can't wait to see this one finished!

[Polska]

...Am I the only 2002 owner on this forum who sucks at everything. All of the furniture is flawless but that coffee table is fucking beautiful.

I'm right behind you!

[JordanFielding]

Amazing. Only word for it.

[MvP]

That is some great work! I would love to get into welding. Did you have some knowledge before jumping into it? Or did you just one day google welding for dummies haha. Keep up the great work!

[Raarasutra]

Awesome tables man! If you've got questions about wood-related shit, send me a PM - I'm a cabinetmaker Now I wish I had a welder

^Nice kolor!

[DaguerrotypeI]

So sad that it's been 2 years and it's still not running. It's a sick build thread and I honestly can't wait for you to have it moving! Really rad stuff my dude!

[CubbyChowder]

Thanks everyone, I am just as bummed to see that it hasn't made as much progress as it should. I spoke with a friend of a friend who apparently is a body work master, and I am 99% set on pulling the trigger and having him finalize all the body work and have it ready for paint. We spoke a few weeks ago, and I'm hoping that we get the ball rolling within the next 2 months. He said it should only take him about a week. That would be HUGE motivation to finish this thing. I still plan on painting it myself, but don't have the time to finalize the body work, I want it to look good.

Andre, your '02 looks bitchin!
