Here's a picture of one small boat anchor I cast, long time ago. 5-1/4" long, a little over 2" in diameter. Used a tin can as a mold, which I cut open after the lead had cooled off. Used...

Pretty neat video! One of my first summer jobs was in an old machine shop that made stuff for the war effort. Some of that equipment was still in use back in the late 60's.

You're right about the sawdust. Tried to upload a pic, but CB said the file was too big

My small bench top planer is getting a workout, but I'm trying to take off 1/16" off in one pass. Sometimes I drop down to 1/32". So far the knives are holding up. Sorry, wasn't trying to hijack...

Quite a trip! Awesome! Congrats!

I've got a new project started. I'm using some rough sawn oak to make a kitchen countertop for my daughter's house. It's going to be an interesting project. The boards came from a tree that was...

When I worked in a machine shop, I could come pretty close, using a 6" scale. I learned to read the thickness of the lines on the scale, and I did have excellent eyesight at the time.

I use the same trick on my plastic powder funnels. Just wash them and let them dry. No rinsing needed.

This is what I made. Actually, made two of them. The other one has larger holes around the bottom330271

Carrot cake is one of my favorites, too, although I haven't made one in a while.

MEC published a chart showing the amount of powder dispensed by each bushing, by powder listed.

I wrote my driver's license number of my first 22 rimfire. It does not have a factory serial number. I think I bought it in 1965. Don't ever plan on selling it.

I was working in the garage, don't remember what I was doing. At one point, I turned around and a mouse either fell or jumped off the rafters. It wasn't moving, so I simply stepped on it, and threw...

I've killed a woodchuck at 65 yds. With my Henry BBS in 45 colt. I believe I used a 452 rn 200 gr boolit. Shot two deer two years ago, using the 452rn 255 gr boolit.

A while back, I set up a bucket trap in my small barn. Baited it with peanut butter. After a while the peanut butter was gone, but the mice still wold get caught. I think it was due to curiosity,...

Looks like you're having way too much fun out there. Keep it up!

I have a cub cadet with the steering wheel. Very maneuverable, but the deck loads up with grass clippings. Takes 30 minutes to clean it up, with a handheld blower. My deck is larger (54")than...

I have a big boy steel in 45 colt. Not any issues whatsoever

I once gave my sister a 1 lb lead ingot as Christmas gift. I had spray painted it gold, and stamped 24KT on it. At first, she thought I had given her a pound of gold.

We used to have one of those. I know we used it a few times, but can't remember when it disappeared

Someone else mentioned the thermacel. We have one and it does work. However, it covers about 15ft square
