    Unsatisfied !?

    Also Richard, a sharpened pitchfork (and an axe) comes in handy when changing the oil in my Miata.

    Experimental Flash Steam and others

    i know you said stick is out. but, I would use this process rather than mig. even ER60 mig is hard to machine or file. 7018 or even 6013 would be my preference (I know nothing about TIG so cannot commen on that) but a number of short stick welds over a time period so shaft wouldn’t get too hot...

    Thanks for letting me join from NW Washington State

    Hi Todd. I lived in Cathlamet Wa years ago. On my walks I would often stop at the museum there and look at the Wiliamette 3 truck Shay type locomotive on display there. Crown Zellerbach operated it transporting logs. They are real bulldogs. Lloyd-ss I had a knee replacement 10 or so yrs ago...

    Unsatisfied !?

    When you have a Lowbed idling at the loading ramp waiting on a boom, bucket, pin boss, or some part you are machining, you have to strive for what’ll work in the real world, not perfection. And you must know the difference.

    Experimental Flash Steam and others

    It seems (at least in the U.S.) you are more likely to be killed at a school or while shopping than by a bear. Am I allowed to say that?

    Motorcycle model

    With your obvious skill I would be surprised if you do not end up building your own frame for the 4 cyl engine. Love that kick starter.

    Making a model Cannon

    I made this “Mole Cannon” years ago. Large moles are a problem where I live. While strictly not a cannon, that’s what i’ve always called it. Shoots a 12ga. shotgun shell. It weighs 30lbs & is very effective. Although I live in the boonies, i always cover it with a large water tank when I...
