Whatever the recipe says, I always double the garlic...to start.

He was a front of knowledge and will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace.

I wish kudzu could be used to make charcoal for black powder. It's everywhere around here.

I'm glad I passed on it then. Thank you.

For some reason, every time i try uploading a picture on my phone, my browser crashes.

Anyway, has anyone run across any pieces marked:

Nambe (all lower case)
Classic (in a box)

Thanks.

Actually, I didn't spot the weights at the auction. My wife and I are friends with the family that runs the auction house. I made a starter bid to generate some interest, except their wasn't any...

I was at a sportsman's auction a few weeks ago and tossed out a starter bid on a tub of canvas "duck butts" with weights.

No one else bid on them so I won the lot for $10.00

When I got home I...

I can access the site without the warning message. However, when I go to subscribed threads, UserCP, or messages I get a blank screen.

Thanks.

I ordered a set of grips. I'll post a new picture when they arrive and are fitted.

Thanks.

Green Frog,

Yeah, I've been looking at their website. I'm just not sure which of the black "rubber" grips are appropriate for my pistol.

I was thinking maybe these.

Any suggestions?

I'm hoping to get some repro hard rubber grips. If that doesn't pan out, my fallback plan is to trim the grips to fit.

Here's my S&W Model 1896 (First Model) wearing J-Frame grips. Notice the overhang at the bottom.

I would like to find a pair of repro hard rubber grips.

Do you have any pictures or dimensions?

Thanks.

Mike,

Do you have a source for the collet chuck you use? I've been trying to figure out a way to hold cases in my lathe without damaging them.

Thanks.

David

That's a bit of a drive.

I was born and raised in Manhattan. I've lived in the Albany area since 1987. Currently reside about halfway between the Hudson River and the Massachusetts border.

Ricksplace,

Thanks for the websites. I'll take a look at them for a four jaw chuck.

Picked up more pewter at a yard sale. About 5 pounds total including the added weight in the salt shakers.

Snowwolfe,

We're never too old to learn something new. My father is 79 years old and started learning about (and selling) newly developed medical devices.

Give it a try, see whether you like...

Completed my first project on the lathe.

The ball crank on the compound rest was missing the nut. I found a nut with the same thread, chucked it up in the three jaw and turned it down to the...

The bench is built and the lathe is mounted and (as best as I can tell) leveled. And yes, that is an old coffee can used as a cover for the reversing switch. The previous owner made it and I...

Here are some pictures of the bench I'm making for my lathe. Made from 2x10 lumber and 3/4" plywood. The top (almost finished) is doubled 3/4" plywood with pine trim at the outer edges.

Mold Maker,

I'm still getting the occasional off centered neck. Would you share your process for resolving this issue?

Thanks.

In addition to the advice above, your H&R may also be missing the quill spring. If you take off the cylinder, there should be a small flat spring along the top of the cylinder quill. These often...

I'll keep my eyes open for a copy of "Machinery's Handbook" in my travels.
