my thread broke, i noticed it was frayed then pop. So, instead of cutting all my work out, I stitched over the broken thread with the other thread, then went into the same hole downstream of the break i very carefully, coated that thread with glue will his fix work?

Does anyone know where I can get a 2nd Amendment stamp? Or, Does anyone know what I would cost to have one made? It can be a single stamp, or 4 separate stamps [each line] Looking to use it to stamp on wallets, so I guess the size would be 3x3 or 3x2. in reality, what ever works out the best/easiest.

If the spent cartridge came into your possession ALREADY cut, then it is not a spent cartridge it is just scrap brass Or so i am thinking.

I use 22lr as decoration buttons on a belt and wrist band. I use plexe glass to hold the bullet while cutting, and s a height/debth gauge [can be adjusted by adding strips of leather or what ever ] I made a set tool using a brass 5/16 brass acorn nut, just jamb nut it on a rod, insert rod in a drill and let a file do its job For safety concerns, use USED bullet cases, You can see my brass is NOT used, and the primer will go off if you hit it wrong, scared the cat and the dog my wife rolled her eyes....primer going off is just loud,nothing fling around.
