New shop started

[EddieWalker]

Are you still able to fit everything inside your shop, or is it time to build again?

 

[plastikosmd]

Still fit (mostly)
Excavator/roller/dozer and daily drivers live outside

I either have an issue collecting junk or there is some sort of gravitational anomaly that attracts rusty stuff

My advice to anyone building, go big and add overhang/shed roof where you can. I only covered the back side with porch roof. I should have done at least one more wall for more covered parking/storage

 

[dstig1]

Well duh. It is clearly a gravitational anomaly. You are welcome!

 

[EddieWalker]

I'm looking forward to your next barn build!!!!

I need to change my handle so my wife doesn’t see this…

 

[plastikosmd]

Well I’m getting rid of the tap disintegrator that I never use and that is taking up horizontal space (we all know how that goes) and have declared war on gummed up carbs

new to me and seemingly like new 7 gallon ultrasonic (heated) cleaner 2600ht/d

anybody used one or have any recipes for fluid to use on carbs? (Seems water/detergent/ammonia is common vs off shelf choices)

Thanks!(ordered)

Any direct experience esp vs “home brew”

Also how long would be a typical run?

Thank you!

I have a similar machine and have had good luck with Dawn dish soap and tap water. I always disassemble the carb and run it for an hour, change the fluid, and run another hour. Seems to do the trick. Also works for Glock handguns

 

[plastikosmd]

Perfect!

Thank you

Quick and dirty project

After shooting the recurve today w the target on the ground, it was time to take (make) a stand.

1) light/minimalist/ few
Parts but sturdy
2) durable/weather- able
3) quick setup

I have a bunch of titanium rod kicking around. I haven’t used a piece in the 10 years it has been sitting there.

So 1/2 x6’ piece cut in 2, sharpened and 5” bend at one end.

Stick it in sides of target and lean on target to set.

Worked perfect for what I needed.

(Bow is by Bob Lee)

I never would of thought of a 3 wheeler as a machine to move snow!!!!

I've owned two of those over the years. Fun, but... "Squirrely" is an understatement...

 

[plastikosmd]

I guess I like riding squirrel!

I prefer them, have to use your body like a bike.

There will likely be another in the stable in the next day or 2. Stay tuned

Another 200x added. 1987 survivor

NICE!!!!!

 

[plastikosmd]

Smith also sent a pic of my new anvil ready to ship
500lb of fun!
(I hope those straps hold)
Off to bed, under the weather

 

[civilian]

I don''t have a work bench to put a 500# vise, let alone know what I would use it for. Though I know you do. Jon

 

[plastikosmd]

It is a bit of an upgrade from my 200??lb Peter wright

I think I posted the redone stand, if not, here it is 2”lamanated oak top over 3/8 plate. It did well for the 200 lb. I liked the patina so I just clear coated the base. I will have to affix it somehow once I see how loud it “rings”

 

[yanmars]

Spare titanium (unobtanium), that is a good but unusual item to have around.

I have a Bob Lee bow too, but in left hand. Nice grouping and good idea on the target stand.
