  1. Makita, Snaps...oh how I hate them. some times you have to skive out a little dish if they are to short and sometimes you have to add a thin piece of leather. And i have found if the post is to llong, the post can be shortened using a dremel with a sand paper attachment.
  2. I have asked for help in the past and others have been kind enough to help me out so here is a pattern for any of you that piddly in your garage resize to a width of a 5 1/2'' 1x6 board have fun
  3. thanks for the reply Tom. If you can pull this off you will be my hero. Yes i have a picture of a drawing here it is height of the oval is 48'' width is 24''' This is going to be 3-- 5 1/6 sheets of steel, with the writing on the 1st and 3rd sheet. the center sheet will not be cut out. outer sheets powder coat black center sheet powder coat blue NOTE. the width may have to change to accommodate the width of the lettering/this is understood
  4. Looking for someone that knows their way around a DXF file I need someone who can convert a drawing to a DXF file
  5. I Think I might change my strategy Ever hear of food grade epoxy? same stuff i made my beer mug out of
  6. I have plenty of pine trees out back. I will use the pine resin with nothing added except maybe a bug or 2 From my research you can indeed carry spirits in these. You can not store spirits in them {Or so I am told} SO, Drink up me mates. We can not let this rum sit in here all day. we must do our best to empty this jug
  7. The frame is the main part of the gun, the grip is part of the frame If you find a replica that is an N frame, the only difference will be the cylinder size and the barrel configuration
  8. the 629 is an "N" frame so is this. give it a looky look https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DPSFMT3?tag=dealsguidetod-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

  11. Interesting post. I like it, I have an opinion. Do they have centers for disadvantaged kids in your area? It would be neat if you would go to the center and just spend a day or 2 just hanging out. take a piece of leather and a bit of thread and needle with you. see who is interested Maybe you could change the kids life
  12. Lets have some fun, I challenge you to make a leather canteen.

  16. you can change out a 220 breaker to a 110 30amp breaker in the breaker box use the 2nd hot wire on the 220 breaker as the common on the 110 Just a thought
  17. I tried your route yesterday. I went to 7 different locations to find another screw i could use instead of a tap no one had any screws smaller than a 6 10 I even visited a couple of gun smiths thinking the screws on scopes would be close,. NOPE.
  18. I use shears also Cutco 77JE $125.00 usd
  19. The manufacture coated over the threads, so the screws do not fit I need to chase the threads with a tap. [clean the threads] But have no idea what the thread size is I have been told a guesstamate of 4 40 size. Does anyone know what the thread size is for the screws that hold a belt tip on the belt?
  20. Thanks Fred, Yes we are okj, I keep a2 month food supply on hand. we learned during Katrina to keep stocked up for emergency. the only thing we were short on was gas, The scoundrel's from Louisiana are driving to MS to buy gas. due to their power being down. So. gas is hard to find

  22. When I was in the Philippines the flies were very bad. I had a 1 gallon glass jar on the table with sugar water inside of it. The jar is deep enough so you can put the lid on it before they fly out. We also had re-up bull frogs who roamed around eating flies.
  23. you can use your Dremel to shorten the post on snaps for a custom fit.
