Hey there
Hey there,
For some time I've been browsing this forum (among other sources of info) and recently I finished my first build. Strictly it's not a CBG since I built the box myself. I thought I would show of with it. I learned a lot about building and think I might have a new addiction.

Very nice. Love the long box... and that’s your first? Your twenty-first (and there likely will be a twenty-first) will be something!
