With the cost of everything going up, and including the post office, its past time to start making my own lube and lube tubes too. Read the posts and started today with the mold base board. Tomorrow I will sand and seal the center post and the board on all sides. Think I might even put two or three coats of primer on that used Lyman 450 I got from ebay last week and get it safely sealed in paint. Here in the south not far from the ocean everything rusts quickly, more so if its bare metal.
