You'd be amazed at how much oil some types of wood can soak up.  Depends on the wood and the oil.  That said, 16 coats sounds like about 10 too many.  If you want a finish that deep, just lacquer the thing and be done with it. 

    But think of the savings!  Buying someone's reloads in a ziplock baggie probably saved $5.   79 more baggies and that $400 gun will be paid for....         Forgive the sarcasm.  Glad she wasn't hurt.  I'd say she learned an expensive lesson.  A lawyer will cost a lot more than $400. 

Wow.  :up:

My wife got hers in the mail last week.  Took about 4 weeks.

Very cool.  I believe my employer has one that was flown by the local Air National Guard refueling unit during one of their sandbox deployments several years ago. 

  Looks good!    For the vice, you might try baked on tractor paint.  I'd also double reinforce the table top underneath the vice.

    Dang you!  I'm gonna be humming that damn song for the rest of the day!   :yuck:

You might think of structuring it more like a club, rather than a business.  You would allow the club use of your property (like a $1/yr lease or something?).  Club dues would be used for maintenance, improvements, etc.  I haven't a clue about the tax or legal obligations.  Dad is a former president of a craftsman's club.  I could ask and see what he knows about how all that works.  Regardless, I'd definitely talk with a lawyer and get some sort of umbrella liability policy.   I'd also agree with the $50-ish price point. 

My kids love looney toons....  can't figure how that happened.  :cool:

  It will rust, though how fast and how severe depends on the environment it sees.  A black sharpie or paint pen is a quick fix. 

No worries.

I hope she does win.  At least then maybe she'll deserve half the attention she gets.  As has been stated, she's proven to be a mediocre race car driver at best.  Shows how far a little T&A will get you.    As for being better for the sport...   you mean better for the entertainment.  NASCAR hasn't been a sport since the early '90's. 

You guys are gonna get me in trouble.  I have way too many t-shirts as it is.

    :rofl:

poke...

PM sent...

    It's not uncommon.  Have a look at this...  http://www.kegisland.com/firing-pin-wipe.html   I shoot at Gunnys (or anywhere else) on rare occasions.

Welcome!

  My older son has his lifetime and the younger one will get his on his b'day this year.  I think my Dad got his lifetime (senior) but it's waaaay too expensive for us folks in the middle. 

From here:  http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-2.pdf       That said, you might look into an "optimum" barrel length.  Sometimes a small difference in barrel length can make a considerable difference in accuracy and/or reliability. 

    Nope.  :)    A #6 screw has SAE (english) threads.  An M6 screw has metric threads (hence the M).  The two are not interchangeable.    An M6 bolt has a shank diameter of .... 6mm (0.236").     A #6 screw has a shank diameter of 0.138" (screw # multiplied by 0.013"....   6*0.013=0.138").  So the #6 is considerably smaller. 

I can't really tell from the pics but you may be experiencing what I've heard called "primer wipe". Its when the firing pin is still protruding slightly during ejection. When the ejector forces the case out the firing pin drags across the primer resulting in a gouge. Check for a sticky firing pin or broken firing pin spring (if so equipped). It may very well be normal.

    Very true.  All you see is videos of idiots wearing a bio-hazard suit while changing a diaper and movies like Daddy Day Care.  Guess who got the clean-up call when the little one pooped in the tub last week?  Society thinks men are incapable of taking care of kids.  If we were women, we could raise hell about inequality and stereotypes, but since we're men, we just shut up and get on with it. 

    That's interesting too.  I've no idea what went on with paypal... the reason I couldn't remember the password is that it's my wife's account.  So if there were notices or something there, I wouldn't have seen them anyway.

    Not quite.  A 1 inch M6 bolt will be listed as M6x25.  You may even find it listed as M6x1.  Walmart may not have them.  I'm sure Lowes or HD will.
