Most electronics board components are designed to be cleaned in something like a dishwasher with special soaps and water. The fact it got wet will not necessarily kill it. Provided it has not had...

I would love to see one made to shoot the 7.62X25 Tokarev. Looks like a nice project if you can get one fore a decent price.

In my minds eye I am seeing Gallaghar smashing watermelons with his Sledge~O~Matic. .50 is big enough to be used to tactically take out big things like radars and generators. I would be careful...

Yes, it can and should give you enough attenuation to prevent transmission depending on frequency and quality of the mesh you use and distance from the tower. If memory serves the low end of...

I originally started with the idea of just the lunchbox with the ability to recharge things I use every day like an electric screwdriver and cell phone. I occasionally do remote work and do not have...

I have my daily carry items arranged to grab and go in the mornings. knife, wallet, cellphone, recharge battery, multi-tool, keys etc. But, I am really limited by what I can carry. Most irritating is...

You can go to a battery warehouse or similar business and get new cells the correct size and even off ebay and put them in. The commercial packs are tack welded together, you can break the tack...

I believe the old industrial hack saw blades are high speed steel I made many fillet knives out of them over the years. Be careful not to get the steel too hot when making them. HSS is tough to...

I back in the day hot water tanks were chrome molly steel. That is a lot of excess volume of chemical to maintain temperature on. I did a parkerizing tank many years ago with just a wispy piece of...

You know..... You could do a cutout in a piece of thin plywood for a pattern so it is repeatable and lasts longer than tracing the original cardboard one. You could also tack a band of sharpened...

My information is not as scientific. Through my own observations I have seen where bullets fired from my rifles (more so from auto-loaders) have tighter groups with a meplat cut into them even if it...

I've previously used rubber tire chunks I got at the hardware store they have for landscaping to dissipate the last bit of energy. It may work better than sand for you (easier to separate the lead)....

When .22 rimfire became scarce I made allowances to be able to plink and have fun with by switching a couple guns over to .32ACP which I can reload inexpensively using a 95-5 lead/tin boolet.

I...

If you are going with optics instead of iron sights, go with the M-4. You do not need the extra sight radius and you can achieve almost the same terminal ballistics by adjusting your loads. The...

For anyone with cad experience ever those with patience... There is an amazing program for designing your own cedar strip kayak at:

All of the commercial 1911 derivatives I have seen have had their slides of some alloy of steel. I am not sure if it is for recoil mass or durability. In my mind an aluminum slide sounds scary, AL...

I love the new 3D Modeling programs because your files can be "ported" out to any necessary form, like "g-code" or STL. I would say they are worthwhile beyond measure to learn (I am partial to...

There are .22 caliber nail sets out there in 6 different power levels, I would not suggest using anything other than the gray or brown. You should be able to send a lead ball down range in the...

My vote is 9X39 lots of fun thumping piggies.

Beautiful work... For what its worth, where I live in FL things can rust very fast here. I use RIG universal on my tools (and guns) to keep them from rusting. I even lost the roof over a milling...

I have a similar problem, I have just under a ton of 63/37% Tin/lead (I work in the electronics industry) I would love to swap a hundred lbs for high antimony lead but I have low post count too. I...

I live on the gulf coast, I fish everything from 2 lb test live bait rods for speckled trout all the way up to meat poles for grouper and snapper. My favorite home built rod uses a 7' med light St....

I did a similar mod to a .308 Ishapore that was more labor intensive because I wanted to use a double stack magazine. I chucked the receiver in the lathe and bored back 2 inches past the action...

Enfields seem to have overpopulated in my home, the Enfield is a nice sturdy receiver that for a time was super cheap to get and tinker with and for that reason I have more of them than anything...

You have already narrowed down the range and energy you need. You have an idea of what projectiles and speed you want. Using off the shelf ammo then yes stick with the longer barrels. If you reload...
