Thats was a fun trip with Davin Myers in 2022. In the house slippers!!!

I hate to do this, especially this time of year. Had a freak accident occur today. While removing tile from a bathroom demo project, a piece of sharp tile caused a deep laceration to my shin. I’m admitted to the hospital for a simple surgery in the morning, but I’m not sure what the recovery phase will look like. I’ll post updates in time.

I will not be taking in any further work as my bench is already full. I’ll see how the next couple weeks go and attempt to accommodate whatever work I can, when I can. Thanks for your patience and understanding. This is the last thing I wanted to happen before the season cranks up.

What’s your go-to rod and reel? I feel like I can catch anything on this combo! An old Abu Garcia Fishing Ambassadeur 5000 I reworked years ago on a fresh Ugly Stik is my first choice. Nothing fancy, not expensive, but reliable. It just gets the job done! Cleaned up, fresh braid, and leader attached…ready to hit the water! Happy hunting…and

I won’t be taking in any further work until the second week of August. A family member will be having a scheduled surgery, and I plan to be present for that and the recovery period. Thanks for your patience and understanding. I will continue to work on current projects and disposition them upon completion.

This one was a unique project. application with stencils and clay masking. Clean and full of character…ready to hit the range!

CERAKOTE®

A fellow gunsmith gave me some advice. “You may have to get rough with it.”

This old *****on pump-rifle came in for and needed to be disassembled. This stubborn thing would not give. I soaked it in kroil for days/weeks, ultrasonic baths, heated with a torch, hammered, placed it in my neighbors deep-freezer, and soaked in penetrating oil some more.

“You may have to get rough with it.”

Enter THE ALMIGHTY PIPE WRENCH! 🔧

This is not a daily tool of the gunsmith, but I would be lying if I told you that this was the first time I’ve used it in this line of work.

It did the deed but left its mark.

A quick trip to the lathe and I removed the damage that was done. The part was inspected and tested for function. It will be finish with CERAKOTE® with the other metal parts. Now, I can move on with this project!

A with many repairs. I took her out on the range last week and she spit out everything I threw in! This old *****on is back in service! Happy hunting!
