Greetings from the cold side of WA, There is no such thing as enough shop space. My garage is 24'x40' and I outgrew it X2 long ago and am renting another as large. Now, I'm retired and the time has come to get it all under one roof. Convincing my lovely bride the garage needs a basement is the chall...

Rex Merrill/Rock Pistol in 30-30 cal. questions
Greetings, Gunners, I'm new to the forum and have a question for the experts. I've come across a Rex Merrill in 30-30 by Rock Pistol. I love the lines and the quality feel of it. However, the caliber is not my first choice. Questions: 1. I understand the barrels have to be hand-fitted by the factory...

Yes , read the manual three times before unpacking the machine. No, It was only after I bought a true machinist's level that I discovered (on this forum) that a mill does not have to be TRULY leveled. but any operation which begins on a machine where the machine, the vise and the stock are square a...

Since there was no link to the previous thread, just some random thoughts for consideration come to mind: in case I have to build that syringe we discussed. 1. What about the design requires boring PVC pipe to fit an 0-ring and plunger? 2. Why does the cylinder have to be PVC pipe? 3. What is there ...

boring small engines
If doing it the hard way and solving a problem with available tools is the point of the exercise, then use a lathe or a mill.

If you mean small automotive, here are my thoughts: Yes , cylinders can be bored on a BP. No , it is not easy, convenient or cost-effective to do so. Maybe , you should con...

After looking over on the 6x26 group, I found http://groups.yahoo.com/group/clausing_lathe_and_mill/ which is much more focused for my purposes.
