Welcome you will find loads of helpful stuff and people on here. Good luck with your build

The future looks very bright indeed lol

Kids are great aren't they? Although keeping up with what they want can be tough especially with the time frames related to these kind of projects. I'm working on my first mando bucket and already my son is reeling off a whole list of other buckets he wants plus heard him bragging to his friends...
