    want to trade

    I have a laser engraver that cuts thin material and I want to trade some HO scale building plans for a free building kit that I run from your plan. I'm learning the machine so bear with me on the time-Maybe a week or 2. I'll do balsa wood but no styrene till I get a different filter.
