I hope I am doing this right, first time posting, replying, or whatever... will learn with time.  I am trying to post to AkaTom.  Tom, I know you said you sold all of your build tools, but I was wondering if maybe I could pick your brain a little bit.  I live in St. Clairsville, and I am very interested in building my own AK.  I have read tutorials, and I believe I have  a reasonable understanding, but I always learn the most from talking to someone, face to face.  Maybe I could bring a case of beer and just get some info off of you?   Thanks for any reply, ahead of time.

I know there are some other builders not too far off that still have tools and the such, any reply is appreciated.  

I have had several specific firearm questions over the last few weeks.  I have been doing some homework on a number of firearms I am interested on purchasing, and firearm coatings.  Forums just like this one have been a God send, and I really value all of the helpful members out there  who take time out of their day to help a fellow shooter.  Thanks to everyone.

I'm in Austin, TX.... starting to find information for a build.  I'd love to build an underfolder, but don't have access to any shop equipment or a welder (and don't know how to weld anyway).

Bump to save from archive. Also contemplating tooling up for 1st build.

Instead of bumping it, why doesn't it get tacked?  And why hasn't anyone added our build group to the list?  All these AK tools going to rust away...
