ot, opinions on the savage model 93 ,17 caliber X-mas for a big guy.
Hard to recommend my Ithaca 22, trap-door single shot. But I was 5, Dad was kind of heavy on safety, so that's what I got. I did envy my older brother's gun, but I still have mine.

How to make this?
Speaking of English, what happened with that fine old English word "Cwen"? Sensible, pronounceable, but now I see it spelled "Queen". What's up with that? Entertaining thread could have died right here: -
How to make this?
Since I'm of six generations now in Texas, if everyone who got here later just left, that'd be great.

Ethical Job Posting? Musings on Craiglist
This is a cool gadget. In an older interview, he gave a demo by aiming it out of an office window at some unsuspecting pedestrian below. Said something like "This is God, and I know what you did". No one else around that pedestrian heard a thing. But although a tightly focused pair of... -
Ethical Job Posting? Musings on Craiglist
Beam with a short throw of 1-5 feet? If you can make an RF beam stop after a few feet, you're the Jedi engineer that invented the light saber and Darth Vader is trying to hire you. Or someone with a vague idea and modest technical expertise thinks magic is easy and cheap. -
McMaster did it again. It's 8:00 AM and my order is here.

I might have mentioned this. Many years ago, a big UPS was put in to hold up minicomputers in a control system we were putting in. A friend notices the neutral wire was way smaller than the hot wire, called bs on the poor excuse for an electrician putting it in. The electrician told him, "most... -

"ferrous cutting" circ saw blades from big box = cheap slitting saw ?
You want hot curls, mount a circular saw blade (your least favorite one) backwards and use it to cut sheet metal roofing :D I did that one summer long ago, roofing a pole barn. Lord almighty, it made a racket :eek: But a skilsaw 7.25" blade is what, 9000 SFPM? Since the mill has VFD I could... -
