  1. I'm back! Thanks for the help Doc.
  2. I have a Samsung phone, and I don't believe it stores and displays website passwords in settings. My email address is correct. It is the same one I have had for almost 20 years.
  3. I don't know where else to post this, but in the years since I joined I have several new electronic gadgets, (laptop, etc.) and for some reason I can only access my account through my smart phone. I can see the number of digits in my password from counting the ****, but everytime I try to use some old iteration of previous passwords I fail. (My phone obviously has it stored...) I have tried using the "forgot/reset password" link several times, but no email is ever received. (Yes, I checked the spam folder...) My phone is getting older too, and may need replacing. Before i am locked out for good, does anyone have any suggestions? (Resetting the password, even when logged in, requires that you enter your old password!)
  4. Dr. Hess, I was asking if the account was behind because you suggested that somebody contribute “some strictly monetary value” towards the coop. Not sure exactly what you meant by that, but it came across as a plea for a cash donation. As a non-profit, the folks who graciously volunteer their time to run things ought to ensure that postage and sharpening fees are adequate to break even each time a reamer is mailed and used, but beyond that why might anyone be asked to donate anything other than a reamer to get in? Not trying to spark any argument, but I guess I’m just a little puzzled by what you were asking for in your April 3rd post... P.S. thanks again for the email!
  5. Dr Hess, is the account in arrears? If so, I would suggest simply increasing the sharpening/postage and handling fee by some amount for each transaction to catch back up. P.S. Does anyone have Tanglewood’s email or other contact info, or know whether he might be having computer problems again? I’m just looking for an update on a reamer and gauges I ordered and he hasn’t responded in a while. Please PM me if you do...
  6. Are you asking about a rear pillar? If so, I install the front screw, then use feeler gauges to get the gap between the mag box and receiver even along the full length front to rear, then make it that long...
  7. So maybe buy one to contribute that the co-op doesn't have? (For variety, even if you don't need it...)
  8. That must have been one hell of a photo op to get bent like that!!!
  9. A few years ago I had a local welder do a few bolt handles for me. (Not a gunsmith) I had a store bought threaded aluminum heat sink, but he didn't like it so he turned one out of solid copper bar on his lathe. Unthreaded, but apparently he oriented it to stay in by gravity. Seemed to fit nice, and he let me keep it. Morale of the story, it doesn't need to be too fancy. And I will echo the offer to send you one or both of mine to use...
  10. I haven't been on here in a while, but just came back to check on the status of the reamer coop, and make a trade. I contribute a 30-06 reamer some years ago, and still have the 35 Whelen I swapped it for. I'd like to send it back, and get a 7mm Rem Mag reamer and gauges for my latest project. Who do I need to contact to make this happen?
  11. No, they come with a guard. And some of them have more authentic ones, I just didn't like the one it had originally. (see last photo...)
  12. As we all suspected... I guess if you're not sure of the caliber it's better to just make something up rather than appear ignorant. Doesn't really work though, does it?
  13. Pretty funny what people will come up with. If you aren't sure just guess and pretend... Is it really 7.62x54? 'Cuz that would entail some work.
  14. I have one of those miniature collectible football helmets in the Seahawks old colors. I have never been happy with the plastic facemask that it came with. It is ugly and does not look like any style I have actually seen in use, so I decided to make a 'retro' style facemask in more of a lineman's big cage style. I bought some brass rod at the hardware store, and using the old one as a template, and by looking at old photos, I used hands and pliers to bend up some pieces. The trickiest part was the part that curves up over the brow. Here are the starting pieces: (kittie can't wait to scrimmage...) Soldering the pieces together: Here it is all finished and painted next to the one it replaced:
  15. I saw a newer Wrangler on the highway the other day that was done up in a flat desert tan. I thought it looked very cool... quasi-militaristic like a Humvee.
