    Welcome to the forum. You will find all the answers you seek by reading old posts. Use the search feature. There is a lot of great advice here.

    This is a tricky time to start as technology continues to get smaller. It takes more raw material to make those dollars. There are still plenty of desktops around, but finding them is a bit harder, if not more competitive.

    Spend a few days reading and you will soon see what is possible. We love to see pictures, so keep that in mind once you begin
    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.
