When I built my 1911 I used Ed's parts. 29 years later it still shoots and runs without issue.

I do mostly repairs especially after big storms. Standing seam is a real pain to repair and specific tools and experience are necessary to repair. I've installed dri-loc metal roofing at the beach....

The farm I'm on now was wrapped up with Kudzu. Even over the top of 50' pines. The goats not only ate the foliage but pawed the roots out of the ground. Any new tree sprout was eaten. The Boer goats...

Keep 'em wormed. Moldy or spoiled hay or silage can cause listeria.

I helped a fella on some of my house projects. His specialty was metal roofs and copper work. Most were historic stuff. He used a small burner much like a turkey fryer for his solder irons. He used...

Magma had a large production pot. It was about 90lbs? Anyway, the bottom was thick and held 3 cartridge heaters. It's been a while but I seem to remember them being 1000 watts each. I've been wrong...

Somebody said " You got to know your limitations ". I ain't got the muscle or tendon strength I used to. No need to beat the body to pieces.

Before stuff goes too far. The membership sent COWW's from various parts of the country to former member cbrick who happens to be a friend of Glen Fryxell, coauthor and author of various articles on...

She looks big enough to fetch tools for you when your working on the vehicles.

I use an Optivisor with a 5 plate which is 2.5x magnification at 8". I sort brass by headstamp and inspect every piece of brass when it first comes in and after every firing when I return from the...

I'm curious. Have you done wet tumble with your QT66? I've only tumbled with walnut/lizard litter since I bought it second hand. My drums appear to be in great shape.

Pellet choices.

The casting part is it's own hurdle to overcome. There is no substitute for actually casting. If you make a mistake you can always remelt and cast it again. I recast that first alloy 5 times before...

Far better to cache water/food in a bunch of small containers in various places than a big container in one spot. Just smile when asked "why to you keep all those empty gatorade bottles?"

Hopefully it's all downhill for ya'.

We blew the shoulders out on cases like you do but only with fast burning pistol powders cuz we wanted it to happen in the case. The slow burning powder probably won't help.

Rotometals has a bunch that doesn't look as pretty.

I made a large tumbler and used some 6" PVC for the drum. Lined the inside of the pipe with duct tape so the buckshot would get a grip. Worked just fine. I can tumble 50lbs of buck. The shot rolls...

What works for some doesn't work for everybody. You got to do what you got to do. Taking turmeric keeps me from waking in the middle of the night from stabbing pain in my shoulders and hands. Keep on...
