Another weekend has come and gone. A few house hold projects were completed and a couple of minor projects worked on. Most of the weekend was spent on writing reports for work. Friday night for 2 hours, Saturday for a couple of hours in the morning and then again that night for a couple of more hours. Then Sunday from 6am to 11 am to finally finish them all up. The only exciting project that I was able to work on this weekend was the new anvil stand I am building. Using the router table I built a while back I cut a radius on the posts to allow them to fit inside the angle iron supports.
Here at gun lab everything is generally made or re-purposed to go with the project at hand. I have a small fly press that I obtained at a yard sale for real cheap. I wanted to use it in the fab shop for punching hole and pressing designs. So it was time to spend some time making a stand for it. I found an old lathe that some one had dumped in a field. After some checking in the surrounding businesses t was determined that it was just a midnight drop off. I took my old truck and trailer over and picked it up, much to the appreciation of the property owner. and drug it home. It set in the fab shop for a number of years where it gathered dust and rust and generally was in the way. There was no fixing it and bringing it back to it’s glory days so the next best thing to do with is to re-purpose it.
This leads me to the base for the fly press.
A nice fit to the base.
And the plate bolted to the base.
This is it setting next to the forging hammer I built.
Most of Sunday was spent on making a new stand for my anvil. The stand that came with the anvil, when I dug it out of a dumpster, is way to short for me.
Starting with old pallet wood, Philippine Mahogany.
Today it is off to do the metal work. First to grind down flat my base steel.
It is Saturday night of a three day weekend and already the fun has started. I have not chatted about the kitchen for awhile but today I finished a major project that I have been putting off. I finished piping the gas to the new stove top. This should make Axel happy.
I replace all the gfi plugs in the bathrooms. Then went back out to the fab shop and put the last isolation valve in the water system. The water system is energized through out the entire fab shop. I will start of the evap cooler stands in the near future.
The work was started on the new anvil stand. Using the 4.5×4.5 pallet pieces that I have been saving and my wife started making into bench seats.
I have spent the last 3 weekend getting ready for a new water line to the fab shop. My limit for digging is only a couple of hours. When you look at the size of the rocks you will understand why.
I was able to obtain a number of books for my reference library from John. I think the hardest item that he let go was some of his books.
On the way back from Oregon my wife and I stopped at a friends house in Nevada. In his very nice collect was a New Zealand marked Mk 6 revolver.
Here are a few of the interesting items that I found at Dealer Showroom. The first and really exciting item is a brand new AR-10 Sudanese hand guard.
There are still 2 of them left. I am working on a couple of Enfield projects and was able to pick up a few items toward completing them.
I also found a missing piece to my Mk7 Enfield.
I also came across some 15 rd Hotchkiss feed strips.
We arrived at Medford Or. on Saturday and with a rental car drove to Klamath Falls where John Bush and Dealer Showroom is at. John has decided to retire and is cutting back his inventory drastically. With that in mind my wife and I spent all day Sunday and part of Saturday evening looking for and picking up a few items. John helped me go through drawers, boxes and binds of stuff.
Some of the major stuff that John has are L1A1 parts, Madsen LMG parts, IMI .357 pump rifle, but there is so much give John a call at. 916-205-1533 or 541-363-2695
This has been a awesome vacation. I will have a complete update when I get back home, but so far I have found some great gun stuff, had a fun time everywhere. Just today I went crabbing. Fresh from the ocean
