    Just a couple videos on youtube. I thought about giving it a try, but I'm not that confident in my skills or my drill press.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    I can not and will not build it for you. I will be here and show you how to run the equipment safely and competently.

    He has a nice shop too.

    henpecked, have you taken one of these 80% lowers and finished it up? In other words, would you be able to show people how to finish one using your machines? If so, I suspect - based on the responses above - you'll have a line out the door.

    + $35 to $70 for an 80% and i can walk out with a factory unit. Yes i know the build your own is nice, in many ways. Myself, it comes down to cost.

    Add in potential FFL transfer fee, BGC, etc...price comes out about the same. I prefer the benefits of DIY over the couple bucks saved buying a factory unit. The beauty of the platform is exactly what we are discussing in this forum!
