Thread: What are you working on?

Scales look sweet, outback!

On making washers smaller, Jerry, You were on the right track. One of those Dremel mandrels for cut-off wheels will hold the washer(s).
Run the dremel slowly against the side of a stone(Or running bench grinder stone) to grind the OD down where you want them.
Then, put them on a pin-vise one at a time to run them against the buffer before, and after doming them if you wish.

Thanks Tom. I got some of those mandrels. Didnt think of that one. I need to pick up a pin vise still. Thanks for the lesson.

Repairs are done, all sanded, and soaking in Oil.

Looking good mgmike.

If it weren’t free, I’d never have driven it off the lot..

Don't know about the Venza, it's AWD, but definitely has some drift to it when there's lots of snow.

Surprisingly, my 550i GT, NOT xDrive, AST though but rear wheel drive, is a ferkin' tank in the snow, like a 2 ton snow plow, wife was shocked that it handled in the snow much better than the Toyota.

But I've read some stuff about how the AWD works....couple of times I found myself moving in a perfect straight line down the road, just sideways.....

Nice Mike. The machine gun strikes again. The insides are a lot darker than the outside. Guess i didnt otice that. The soaking helped like you said to blend the filling. Im glad you like me, or this would have cost 10 times as much to get you to do it for me.

Now im curious about what pins/washers and what you might do to the blade. If nothing, thats cool to but i got a feeling you got some ideas already. Damn im excited. And now i got to go to bed. That aint going to help. Ha.

Yep! Lovely! Some shine going on and they are ready.
Got a worthy blade, Jerry?

Hes got the blade too. It was for sale here on the forum, dressed in some new type material. I did some horse swapping for it and he still had the original scales. I think it was listed as 1700s razor. Im thinking 1800 but im not sure. Guess we will see what Mike does, then others can say its age. Past my bedtime. Good night.

Just playing, Finally able to do that here:
Winchester Blade in...what else? Gunstock scales:

A buddy that shares his shop space when I need top make a mess is into razors and guns. He will do the final on the blade.
PIF to him!

Great job on those scales Mike, as usual.
