Well today, while I was at work repairing airgaging systems on a machining center and other things, uncle was over at my place having fun in the garage.
First order of events was to use that pottery kiln I bought last year to heat treat a spring for one of his underhammers. The pottery kiln isn't the best thing but I have one. I wired up a controller for it last weekend in a box I made of sheet steel plates, screw plates and screws.
He noticed that the wire passing under the lid was letting heat out slowing the heating. Uncle figured out a cure. Poured a ring of michigan blow sand around the perimeter and set the lid on it. (kiln is a top loader)
He then used my lathe to face the breach of a .62 underhammer he built for me a few years ago and clock the barrel. Track of the Wolf installed the breach plug when I bought the barrel but the barrel shot 6" left at 100 yards. Clocking it puts the deviation where a tall sight can deal with it.
Along the way he used the bridgeport for something related to the rifle.
Then he swiped my sawsall to cut some aluminum windows out of his house so he could replace them.
Later he returned the saw and delivered an oil barrel to use as a burn barrel.
Sadly, my only home metal working project today was using the sawsall to cut the top out of the oil barrel. ;)
