That's a very nice-looking rifle I also like the grinder in the background!!

That grinder looks like a bench mounted beef mincer our family used to use back in the sixties, to make burger mince - only that one of Mr Whitley's is very shiny!

It's a zinc plated grain grinder fairly new from Amazon about 50 dollars for grinding my home made propellant

I finally got a gunstock here after it left the North East 25 days ago.

Its pretty grungy looking from all the soot then handling it but the barrel is now pinned, trigger mounted, lock and serpent plated are mounted and I cut the stock off as well.
After I pinned everything I pulled it up to my shoulder and found the length of pull was to long for me. I cut an 1 1/4" off and now its perfect for me.
Still work in progress.

I made a depth gauge out of some scrap aluminum. I have seen pictures of some pretty nice ones made out of brass and like them, just don’t want to pay for them!

Got lucky walking out of the shop, I stepped out within 4 inches of it and it didn’t strike or rattle.

can you measure how high you jumped with that gauge?

I can't live where rattlers do, having been raised around them and having less that amiable inter actions with them.
But that is a beautiful snake. seem almost dormant?

We had a very cold weekend with rain on Saturday. Lows were 48 degrees. It’s 85 today. I’m at 3000ft, many I find are like this one, non confrontational. When our son was young and id find one I would try to make them rattle and strike but many just turned around and went the other way. Some are just plainly nasty.

Capital idea with the mic stand prop... I'll need to dig one of mine out of the shed and use it that way., Thought never occurred to me to use it in such a manner, but I LIKE IT.

Handled a dozen or so revolvers, trying to decide which one to send next to @45D...

The entry pipe looks tight and clean! I love seeing it all together! Can’t wait till you start thinning the stock down!
I worked on thinning down your two patch knife blades after heat treat!

more carving on the Kentucky .

Couldn’t shoot today, I had to take my sick dog to the vet. I am patiently waiting on a 20g Kibler Fowler, so what was I supposed to do? I just ordered a Kibler woods runner in 45cal. A great day after all!

For a happy bloke, that rat in your avatar looks pretty cranky! I do hope your dog improves .
