But

I intend to learn skills

I like metal working personally

I also like using hand tools over powered.

Not having to worry about electricity right?

Exactly.

Things also generally turn out a little better with traditional hand tools. You can get the fit and finish of stuff just right

I recently purchased a milling machine off amazon

It works surprisingly well for being only around 700 bucks

And made in China

Think I see why you did

Not as good as the stuff at work

But that’s also 20x the cost 😂

Interesting. I like things that come in three. 3 knives, three drinks, and three holes

Lmao

lol 3 holes

I’ve done an 80 on it, but I restore antiques and often times it’s easier to mill a part then find a replacement

Have a lathe for turning bolts and such , if you look around you can find some good deals and TONS of learning material on YouTube

I got a few incomplete lowers direcfly from the FN factory lol

lol for what rifles?

Yeah
