Price on the micrometer?

Check Harbor Freight... for our stuff theirs should be fine, no certification needed.
Especially if you know how to read a mic and don't need the digital read out. Almost a dying art nowadays.
 
Mitutoyo are expensive where ever you live in the world
Nice stuff though.
The Harbor Freight mics need a little work (unless quality control has improved in last few years?)
They need stripping down, cleaning, de-burring, thread adjusted then re-set to 'zero'
Once done they are pretty accurate (I did a couple of sets for students a few years ago to show them how micrometers are assembled and adjusted)
 
yeah I would not use a harbor freight anything for something that needs to be exact
"real" tools are not that expensive and worth it every time
 
This is why I love the DTT community. Ask a simple question, and you get a ton of tips and tricks to get your juices flowing. As always, you guys rock!
 
Bought a leather jacket from a vintage store. Brimaco brand and oddly enough fits my monkey arms.

If you follow the recommended Honda method and drill into the stakes first, it's REALLY EASY
1/8" drill, 1/8" deep (Honda say 1/4" deep but I find about 1/8" is plenty)

yep. I haven't had any trouble and I've done 5 of them now. if drilled properly the hole is nice and clean and they should come off easily. I did them without the "right" tool by just taking my time and tapping them slowly until i could twist them out with a pin spanner.
 
Cool. Thanks. I'll make sure I drill enough next time. For now I'm just powdercoating them and waiting for those new retainers to come in.
 
I know its got nothin to do w bikes...but c'mon I am excited. Thompson Center, Triumph, Bone Collector. 50 cal, Lookin into a Red dot.

Nice riffle Trek, this may be a dumb? muzzle loader? You would think, me be from the south, I would know more about guns, but I don't. The wife and I are hoping to get a couple of 380's and our carrier permit's this fall. The worlds just getting to crazy. Went out to the range with a friend from work, fired off his AR, loved it!!!!
 
It's been a while, but I believe the TC's have inter-changing barrels too.

CR, look into KelTec pistols for conceal carry. I have their P11 (9mm) and love it. And it's not even close to their smallest pistol.

Also consider a walther pk380. They are NICE. And wont break the bank either.
 
Look at a SIG 380. Rounder edges than a PPK and a marginally different grip angle makes it more comfortable to shoot.
 
Yep the new Bone Collector is a muzzle loader. So, it qualifies for both, meets all the law criteria for shotgun hunting. So, I only need the one rifle to hunt both seasons, muzzle loader/shotgun here in Illinois. Ive been looking at this rifle for three years. I still hunt with the Revolutionary war era Flintlocks I built. But my eyes are getting bad enough I need something I can mount a red dot on.

heres a pic of "Moose" a 230 lb 13 point I shot a couple years ago w the 1821 .54 cal full stock Hawken flintlock I built. It was the first Rifle I built and still my best deer killer.

I nailed that buck on my buddy Gregs property... he brought his 2 year old son Emerson out in the timber to see him before field dressing. His eyes got wide...He pointed....and shouted "MOOSE...MOOSE....MOOSE" kids are freakin hilarious...Greg didnt even know how Emerson knew what a moose was....LOL. Thus an Illinois Whitetail buck, named, Moose.
