Alphawolf, Anyone that can do what you do will find the "sweet spot" for sending pictures. Don't you and Charlie go leaving this forum. You guys are like our "Hugh Hefner". If this is the latest rifle; what else have you built? Can you document your color case hardening process? ...

I know you've probably answered this question before, but what breed is Tia? Is she a Brittany Spaniel? She's fantastic! bogie I want to jump in before Nath and take a guess then see if I'm right. I can't tell her size; but I'd guess she's either a real springer spaniel or a real cocker spaniel. Th...

My girlfriend will not touch my knives, she says they are " dangerous " Mescalero, I've found the opposite. You force a dull knife which causes you to lose control. I have the scars to prove it. A sharp knife is a joy to use almost taking no effort. I had a time convincing my wife of the ...

Charlie,

The fine Italian shotgun makers have the latest sophisticated CNC equipment but they also to a lot of final hand fitting. How much work with file and stone do you have to do?

Charlie,

That broach is real clever. I've seen keyways broached on a lathe by chucking the workpiece and feeding in a similar cutter (except ground for 1 cutting edge) with the carriage feed wheel. I never thought of doing a similar operation on a bridgeport though.

Charlie,

Is that a square piece of hss that you use as a broach by pulling down on the bridgeport handle?

Joe, Nothin' to it; I've had 3. They give good meds that make you forget everything. The forgetfulness can continue for a few hours after it's over.

OS - Your stone looks like one I have. The grade is translucent hard arkansas which is the best grade of arkansas stones. New perfect stones are pretty expensive. I bought mine as "blemished" from Sierra Trading Post. It has a couple of nicks here and there but it sharpens just fine. It do...

I went on a Google search for a European double loop sling like Old No7 described but I could not find it. I did come across this website for the crossfire sling. It looked interesting. I wonder if anyone here has experience with it.

I don't know much about planes, but that was a cool video! This may be a stupid question, but which one was an "A10 Thunderbolt"? About 53 seconds in there's a formation made up of a P38 Lightning, P51 Mustang, F86 (I think), and an A10 Thunderbolt. The P38 is in front and the Warthog is ...

I shot the same finish Uberti (brass and color case) but in .45 colt today. A friend had just purchased it. My opinion: I have got to get me one of those. I like it better than his Vaquero. It was accurate with factory cowboy loads, handloads, and .45 Schofields.
