"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

Nice! I love copper guns. What do you shoot with it? Marbles? If you dont want it to be so long, just make it an under over.

Btw, how do you keep your workbench so clean!!!? Nice workbench though! :lol:
