I take it these are to help with holding the boxes together while you build them?

If so for 100 bucks, I could just get a nice box built, lol!

If I was to build my own boxes for other people than yeah, I guess it is worth the money.

Well, right now I'm building a cabinet out of scrap wood, then I'm building a sub box for my friend, my brother, then another one for myself (probably in that order knowing me). So, I think I'll save the money and get a properly built box. (just kidding, man)

So I need 2 or 3 good clamps. I guess I'll have to shell out the money. I'll see if my brother/friend will shell some funds out, too. Maybe I can pick 'em up tomorrow or something. I should be getting dressed / calling people for tonight. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

They come in handy for all woodworking projects //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Perhaps he thinks it is wise to have the tools and likes working with the wood.

I like working with the wood. What are you doin tonight?

Today was the first day. It was frustrating. But that's 'cause my brother was standing next to me making noises. But I love building stuff.

Tonight, I plan on going to a block party dressed up as a famous Punk Rocker (Tim Armstrong, lead singer of Rancid). Hopefully crunkness will pursue. (P.S. The block party is in Coconut Grove. Not sure if you know about it, but it's a really big / rich part of Miami. Really uppity. Hence why I'm dressing up as a Punk Rocker. DOWN WITH THE INDUSTRY!!!... and all that jazz)

it's a shame I can't share in the crunkness

Oh.....interesting! You will need a lot of clamps to hold my wood together. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Anyway, that is what I am saying. I guess in my case, since I don't work much with wood it wouldn't benefit me spending that cheese. Since he has quite a bit lined up, then spending the dough would benefit him.

Also PM your address and will be over later tonight!

If they can overnight parts from Japan, then dam well better believe my fat arse can be shipped too!

They overnight when weight

Looks like you're over the limit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

P.S. Wanna send me your clamps?

But that might require a fork lift to get you out of the door, eh? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
