    A couple of UDS build questions...

    I found a company here that will sandblast the inside of TWO drums for me, for $50 total. From ALL the research I've done, this is the only way to go when it comes to the "dreaded red liner" I have in my food grade drums!  :-)  I attacked the liner on the drum LID last night with my weed...

    Hey all, there is a "Hobart model 210 professional meat slicer" for sale locally here for $75. That's a good deal, right? This think looks like it could slice a Ford Escort What questions should I ask the seller to see if it's worth the investment. For instance, these are older models - I...

    Something I like to call, "The SMF Effect".

    So I have been wanting a compact digital camera. Something small, and thin enough to fit in my pocket. The main reason I have for wanting this, is so that I can post que view. I smoke at least twice a month, usually a decent amount, and I never post many pictures because I don't have a...
