Sounds good!

Interested 4" and 6" Smith owners should check out the UBC forum projects & technical section, there's a guy giving away 6" .22 Crosman cutoffs on the AGF & and an interesting offer from me to go with that

Never a truer word
But partway into that process you'll realise you need a milling machine too
And a pillar drill (actually you need this first!) and then the tooling

Going off thread a little, are you still working on that certain Sharp project Nick?.....

[magicniner]

The Sharp,
Oh yes, but I'm still working out what I want to do with it & how, I have a nice bit of Titanium that might have a breech block hiding inside but I haven't worked up the courage to stick it on the mill & start looking

What a great idea! It can only be a testament to how good this gun is when you can do such a heavy mod! I'll be very interested indeed to see how it performs!

Off the top of my head, I don't think I've ever seen a .22 semi CO2 pistol!

Hi nick
Yeah! I already have a short reach pillar drill but no idea what constitutes a starting point for lathe work. I Do have "Dave Gingery's" seriese of books " Build Your Own Metal Working Shop From Scrap" , but the first one is "The Charcoal Foundry" so I keep baulking at that.

[magicniner]

Jim,
Gingery's stuff is interesting and if you want to use a couple of years of your spare time to make machinery that you could then use to (very slowly) make competent machinery then that's for you.
If you want machinery to use for real work at a reasonable pace you might as well buy decent kit second hand, or at least the components to assemble it from.

Hi Nick
Very true, but if you are starting from scratch then this will actually teach you a lot of what you will need to know as you go along. Besides, with stuff like this it's the challenge involved.
To be honest it's only the foundry and possibly the sheet metal brake that interest me, but every time I get the charcoal out the wife wants a barbie and is not impressed when I nick next doors kids dolly.

PS if you want plans for a pulse jet as a snow blower let me know.

Now that sounds like fun. I remember seeing a propane powered one on Youtube once. Just did a quick search for the link and there are hundreds of videos on pulse jets.
