Hey, what happened to the doc? He ever finish polishing those new machines he bought?

Lon

Ooooohhhhhuuugh .... I'm scheerrred .... look at me, I'm shaking over heahhh!!

Nice job. Who needs an indexing chuck. ;?)

Neat ... I forget ... do you have one of the all in one machines with the mill head over the lathe chuck? those are nice.

Realy glad to see you working on a project.

Yeah ... I don't know about Kent. I suspect he's back engineered his track hoe and reproduced it by now! Can't wait for pics!!! ;?)

Keep the pics coming. You watch one of those Factory Made episodes and it will tell you how to do everything in three steps or less.

Good Job.

Gary

Gary,

Man-cave is coming along.




Lon

DUDE! you ARE moving in on me!!! Only thing ... I don't see a waist high pile of steel shavings and chips. ;?). You need to stay up later ... You're young.

Thks for posting Lon.
Gary

Gary,

All kidding aside I have to vacuum more than a maid. EVERYTHING in the room, constantly. It's the price I have to pay for not having a garage.

I did take your advice about the grinding, outdoors only. I have a townhouse so I have a courtyard in the front and a small backyard. They are just large enough so that if I open the sliding glass door I can work there.

No regrets.

Lon

I wonder what THAT is all about....

Sean,

I made a shroud for a Hammerli 850. I just got the mini machineshop up and running so it was as much an equipment familiarization project as anything. I thought a shroud would make a good project. I used designs I've seen from time to time on the internet and it worked well for a first attempt.

I lined up the parts just like they were placed in the working assembly.

These are all the parts - the tube was a hack, I just needed it to stuff the parts into:


This was the most complex from a machining standpoint. There were a lot of operations required to make it, e.g., turning, facing, drilling then boring and finally milling. This slips onto the muzzle and allows air to pass to the back of the shroud and get vented. It also keeps the tube aligned precisely to prevent pellet clipping.

Hi Lon,

It's so nice to see you working IN YOUR OWN HOUSE..

Julio

Julio,

In it, on it, under it. I do try to squeeze in some fun from time to time.

Thanks buddy. Let me get this house rebuild out of the way and we'll all get together again.

Lon

Ah ... Youth and optimism.

32 years ago, I said the same thing. However; you NEVER get a house rebuild out of the way. It's like painting a bridge. Never ends, you just move around until you find yourself rebuilding the things you thought you rebuilt before. . Good luck.

Gary

Nice shop Lon. Make one for my Yukon........................

on a side note ,,, the famous forth road bridge , one of the ones that they start to repaint again as they get to the far end ,,,, well , thats all come to an end , new paint technology will mean five year gaps in the repaint schedule.
how things change.
