  1. Wow, will you be my best friend.
  2. I never have made a tap before either. I guess you would have to harden the tap after cutting the threads, and make sure you don't make it to brittle. You think dipping it in kasinite would be enough to do the job? If it was me, I guess I would buy the tap and call it a tax deduction on the shop. Good luck on making the tap and let me know how it turned out. Brian
  3. I thought it was high too. You could alway retap to diffrent threads.
  4. I am so sick of Law & Order. It seems like it's on USA an TBS 24/7. I still get a kick out of MASH. Brian
  5. A Texas get together would be great for me as well. Brian
  6. Is this place wheelchair accessible? Brian
  7. Sounds good to me. I bet it will be hard to do though because everbody is all over the USA and finding a location that would suit everyone would be hard to do. Good luck with this, you have my vote. Brian

    Barrel vise

    I would imagine that several folks use wood blocks, but personally think they suck. I use 1 1/2" aluminum shims and a homemade barrel vise. I use a air powered 20 ton jack and two 1" bolts to hold my barrels in place. I have yet come across a barrel that I couldn't take off (knock on wood). I think once you go to steel instead of wood, I bet you will have better luck. Oh ya, don't forget the rosin, it does a real good job as well. Brian

    Have you tried rosin? you can get it from Brownnells. Brian
  10. I know you are trying to make a 410 out of mauser, I thought this 12ga mauser was cool looking. http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayi...012ga%20Shotgun Brian
  11. If you like that website, try this one http://terraserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx It has some cool Aerial Photos. Brian
  12. Their is nothing wrong in starting out on a mini lathe, it's a good way to start out and not costing you an arm an a leg. Your big expenses will be the tooling for the lathe. As you can afford it, buy good quality measuring tools and cutting bits. You can always do pistol and some rifle barrels, and you can tune most actions on a mini lathe. One other thing I would do, is buy some books to help you out as you go along. Once you get better with working on the machine you will want to upgrade to at least a 12x36 lathe. Good luck Brian
  13. FC, Where on Yahoo are you advertising? Brian
