Yeah I looked and a good refurbished hemtt was around $70,000 to $80,000, and like you said if it was in perfect condition I would rather have it in a museum not in the deep woods of North Carolina. But yes I love to work with metal, I couldnt build a wooden birdhouse, but I can cut,chop,grind,drill and weld somethng metal together. Could you see the pics of my recent projects or were they too small?
