Afternoon ( here) guys,....
FINE afternoon here, in point of fact.
Just waiting to here back from a local forklift pard, ....the very HEAVY, pretty damn dynamic, American built tool grinder sitting on the back of my old workhorse PU is FAR to heavy to even THINK of attempting to grab off with my little Kubota.
I know if DD was here he could do it,....
To nice and afternoon to screw around with chain hoists,....I COULD get the thing landed,....but than would have it right in the way.
Bottom line is that The whole scenario regarding Ball molds and other precision machined ML accoutrements just got to lookin' a little more practical,....Rick, PM me your home e-addy so I can send you a back channel series of text / photos that are not at this time for general Campfire purvue.
Oh,...the equivalent Tool grinder in fresh Chinee fish oil runs 25 30 K.
This old , and admittedly somewhat beat up unit was acquired today for U.S. $ 100, and loaded for free, to boot. Last time I worked an ANCIENT old Taft Pierce surface grinder over, we held .0001" with EASE.
Look, ....the rifling TABLE we're plotting ( can't call it a "machine" cuz we're gonna' build it out of hardWOOD) can't fail if the cutters we send raking down good American DOM are dead nuts,....can they ?
Ya, you need to pull and lube that lock, though Track may well already have,....get some pics, from as many angles as you can,....but if NOTHING else,...from directly above.
We're not "Stealing" nothing,....just plotting Samuel's original design parameters.
I find Hawkins a bit "clubby" ( gotta' smack those Arikarees, I know
)
I like that basic design in a WAY larger bore size, ...and the barrel SWAMPED,....swing faster, steady up better for MY offhand work.
Not really an issue,....now that I've been assigned the full qualifications of Target Shooter Puzzydom, this would all just be in the realm of musings,...No ?
