When I had that bench in a different spot in our basement it was the catch all for paint cans and laundry baskets or whatever the wife piled on to it I wrote that on there which had no affect. I finally moved my shop which fixed that problem.Looks good so far.
I'd write "Keep Area Clean" on my workbench but it would be covered with stuff all the time so I'd never see the reminder!!!
I have measured my lock plate and it lines up perfectly with where I will drill the touch hole but I think you have a good point things could shift. I'll move to inletting the lock plate then come back to pinning. Thanks for the tip!
No mark yet. I have to make sure the pan is not on top of the breech plug threads ad I inlet it. The line on the right is where the breech plug ends. I made a mark in the middle of the pan to give an idea where the center of the pan is. I think I've got plenty of room to center the touch hole liner but just wanted feedback from the other more experienced builders on here.
Another tip, trim your next acid brush’s bristles down to about 1/4 inch in length. Number one, you won’t use as much inletting black, plus reduce the mess. Also it will reduce false impressions. Especially true when fitting the but piece. Use a pouncing or dabbing technique to apply. Carry on Sir! BJH
Yea good tip! I switched to a stenciling brush we had from an art project which has really short and compact bristles that are cut off flat. I love that little brush!
