I always heard iguanas were good eating. I enjoyed batter fried alligator in Florida restaurants. Iguanas can’t be much different.

Now things make sense. Growing up in the US, I never heard it, but now that I’m on the internet, I listen to English from all over the world. Thanks.

I figured something like that, but wonder why I’ve only heard it in reference to machining.

Since I’ve been watching videos about machining, I keep hearing the phrase “Bob’s your uncle. Where does it come from?
Thanks

I just got some from China last week. I didn’t pay that much and therefore, didn’t expect too much. However, they are not that bad. With a bit off stoning and polishing they should work ok.
I’ve quickly received molds that were in stock and notified when normal sizes were again available. NOE never answered my emails, but modified my order a I had requested.
Forum: Cast Boolits
You could always consider a reamer so the boolits fit without force. I’ve always heard that a few thousandths of boolit jump was good.

Well it’s getting close to a year since I bought one. I guess I’d better start looking.

Forum: "The Barrel Works"
A friend asked me to put threads on the end of an octagonal barrel to mount a suppressor. I plan to use a four jaw chuck and indicate off of a dowel pin in the bore.
I was wondering about what I...
Why didn’t you order handles from MP? They have one of the best deals on nice handles, especially if you are already paying shipping for a mold. Are they out of stock?

For round balls, I only use spit on my patches. Seems to work and I’m not the only one doing it.
I have mostly Lee aluminum molds. However, I really like the brass ones I have from MP.

Are you thinking of doing several levels at a time. I’ve only ever done one tray at a time.

I have a commercial size can from baked beans. Maybe twice the size of coffee cans. When it’s full I melt down all into ingots and mark them with a ? . I have a few of those ingots and if I run low...

I installed one a few years ago with the fan motor in the attic above the bathroom, then exiting outside. Almost can’t hear it running. Much better/quieter than the ones with the motor just above the...

I’m assuming you want something flexible so you can clean from the breech to the muzzle to avoid debris from ending up I the action. I’ve been using a cable for cleaning my 45/70 lever gun, when...

Something to add about electric razors, those pop up trimmers never worked for me.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
The mini lathe forging may come from the same foundry, but different companies machine and assemble them. That’s where the quality control and prices come in.

When switching to an electric razor, your whiskers really need time to get used to it after being cut with a blade.

LAG’s suggestion is a good one. Just curious, but what happened to the original lock?
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I always diluted by eye. Probably around fifty percent mineral spirits. I would lube the boolits, let them dry overnight, add gas checks while sizing and lube once again. Maybe I didn’t need to, but...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I remember those. My grandmother had a couple. It’s right that you don’t see them around much anymore. They should be a good source of lead, if the price is right.

The NOE sizing setup is great, especially if you will be sizing different calibers. Initial cost may be more, but cheaper in the long run.
I drop my boolits in a five gallon bucket of water. Not...
